verse 1
A 
We need something… to get 
                                            E 
The boys and the girls out of the house and into the yard 
                    D 
Turn the sprinkler on 
                    A 
Turn the sprinkler on     mmmmm

Ts ts ts ts ts ts ts

Talk it out 
              D 
Could we talk it out

In the summertime 
 
verse 3
A 
Love of mine, love me in time 
                                    E 
I’m trying to get out alive... with love 
     D               A 
on my mind....    oh 
 
verse 4
A 
Do I get the kids for the weekend 
                                    E 
Do I, I may not have - more of - a baseball diamond 
       D                A 
And pounded bases in the sand 
 
verse 4
A 
When a wiffle ball hits a plastic bat 
                                             E 
And there is a line drive there is no broken glass 
      D             A 
There is no broken glass 
           E                                  D            A 
Oh be careful, be careful around these parts 
 
verse 5
A                               E 
So I lie on my back in the tall grass 
         D                      A 
I should mow I know, it grows so fast 
              E                   D         A 
Just like our love, just like our love once had 
 
verse 6
A 
Well I was younger then, weaker perhaps 
                             E           E7 
But now I feel as strong as a jungle cat 
        N.C. 
mmmmm I’m kidding 
                     A 
I feel pretty bad…. 
 
verse 7
A 
A day spent with my youngest son 
A 
I broke down on the pitchers mound 
E                     A 
And cried out, I need time 
        E                           A 
To gather myself, like broken glass
