D                  A
So it was Jeremy in 1983
   Em
In his Ocean Pacific tee
G
Who got a bloody knee
D
On his skateboard
A
In the half pipe
Em              G
In the backyard that Tuesday night

[Pre-Chorus]
D       A          Em        G
And I'm only gonna pierce my left ear
D             A               Em       G
And I've been working on this mustache all summer long
D       A                 Em         G
And my favorite band will always be "Tears For Fears"
D        A           Em       G
And I'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom

[Verse 2]
D                         A
Cutting class through the first floor window
Em                          G
He's driving fast 'cause he never did a thing slow
D                   A
And I look up to my big bro
              Em                              G
'Cause in the 80's all the ladies grabbed his hand and couldn't let go

[Pre-Chorus]
D       A          Em        G
And I'm only gonna pierce my left ear
D             A               Em       G
And I've been working on this mustache all summer long
D       A                 Em         G
And my favorite band will always be "Tears For Fears"
D        A           Em
And I'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
  C               A
A pink tux to the prom

[Chorus]
G              D
Doo doo, a doo doo doo
A               Em
Pink tux to the prom
G              D
Doo doo, a doo doo doo
A               Em
Pink tux to the prom
D           A     Em              G
I am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
D              A                Em          G
Live without a care, what could possibly go wrong?

[Hook]
D                     A
When you're president of the breakfast club
Em                      G            D              A
And you're not hesitant to fall in love (to fall in love)
   Em               G                          D A Em G D A Em G
To throw it away to fall in love with the 80's

[Chorus]
D          A       Em             G
I am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
D              A                Em          G
Live without a care, what could possibly go wrong?
D          A       Em             G
I am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
D              A
Live without a care
           Em
'Cause you threw it away
   G                         D A Em G
To fall in love with the 80's

D            A      Em G
Doo doo, doo doo doo
D            A      Em G
Doo doo, doo doo doo
D            A      Em G
Doo doo, doo doo doo
