Verse 1
[A5] We started living in an [C5]old house
[A5] My ma gave birth and we were [C5]checking it out
It was a [A5]baby boy
So we bought [C5]him a toy
It was a [B5]ray gun
And it was [D5]1981
We named him [A5]"Baby"
He had a [C5]toothache
He started [A5]crying
It sounded like an [C5]earthquake
It didn't [A5]last long
Because I [C5]stopped it
I grabbed a [B5]rag doll
Stuck some little [Bb5]pins in it
Now we're a [A5]family
And we're [C5]alright now
We got [A5]money and a little place
To [C5]fight now
We don't [A5]know you
And we don't [C5]owe you
But if you [B5]see us around
I got [Bb5]something else to show you

Verse 2
Now it's [A5]easy when you don't [C5]know better
You think it's [A5]sleazy?
Then put it in a [C5]short letter
We keep [A5]warm
But there's just something [C5]wrong with ya
Just [B5]feel that you're the hardest little [Bb5]button to button
I had [A5]opinions that didn't [C5]matter
I had a [A5]brain that felt like [C5]pancake batter
I got a [A5]backyard with nothing [C5]in it
Except a [B5]stick, a dog
And a [Bb5]box with something in it
Chorus
[Asus4] The hardest [C]button to button
[Asus4] The hardest [C]button to button
[Asus4] The hardest [C]button to button
[Asus4] The hardest [C]button to button, ah oh
[Asus4] The hardest [C]button to button
[Asus4] The hardest [C]button to button, ah oh
[Asus4] The hardest [C]button to [B5]button[Bb5]
