Verse 1
G
Kansas City, the fifties,
C
G
my parents would take us
Em
Am
to a lake in the country.
D
G
My brother and me, as daddy drove on.
C
We kids would get restless,
G
C
G
we had time on our hands,
Am
and we'd get a game going.
C
D
G
C
G
Scissors, paper, and stone.
Scissors cut paper.
C
G
Stone pounds them apart,
D
Em
but slapped under paper.
C
Am
D
That old stone's in the dark.
G
We play on together.
C
G
Count to three, show your hand,

A

C
We kept that game going,
D
G
D
Em
G
scissors, paper, and stone
F
I bet you played that game too,
C
it all depends on whether
you can guess what to do
G
By intuition, precognition,
or sheer dumb luck
F
To crush or cut or cover
the other player's move,
C
or else how fast you can react
G
to what your own opponent does.
F
You begin with clenched fists
C
and start to count, one,
G
I'm sittin' pulled upright
right off the bat
F
in the backseat of daddy's 57 Chevy sedan watchin' Eric like a hawk,
C
G
gotta I gotta, gotta second -guess him.
Two, we're definitely
pumping some adrenaline,
F
C
the two of us, totally focused on this.
G
Oblivious to Pat, Broon, Kroon,
and Tammy's in love on the radio.
F
Don't smell those strong,
unfiltered palmels.
C
My folks are both smoking
G
in the front seat at all anymore.
We don't even see the long,
low Raytown lanes building
F
with its big flashing sign
C
with the bowling pins going down
and up and down and up again
G
in an endless life cycle
F
of strikes and neon resurrections,
C
hmm, two and a half,
all tensed up on the edge
G
of the spring -coiled seat cushion,
hmm, three.
Ha! Gotcha!
Stone breaks scissors
D
G
And scissors cut paper
C
Stone breaks them apart
G
Em
Ah, but under that pa per
Am
That old stone's in the dark
D
G
We'd play on together
C
G
One, two, three, show your hand
C
G
And my kid brother and me,
Am
C
we'd keep that game going
D
G
The scissors, paper, and stone
D
G
Be in love for the first time
C
G
Naive and afraid,
Em
my heart fluttered like pa per
C
Am
D
Beneath her keen gaze,
then she tore it in two
G
C
G
Her own heart turned to stone,
C
G
I felt scattered and tattered
Am
C
Tossed off and alone,
D
G
destination unknown
F
Maybe you've played that game too
C
It's one nobody really wins in though
G
And the stakes are way, way higher
And the longer the tension builds up
Between the two players,
F
the greater's the pain
C
If you happen to lose, like I did
G
In the late 1960s
F
C
G
Oh, in the backseat of my daddy's cherry red Thunderbird with Eileen,
F
she was a raving Irish Catholic beauty,
actually the bolder sister
C
of a pair of devastating long
G
-haired identical red -headed twins,
both of whom I pursued like
F
two rare elusive butterflies
C
G
I had to add to my growing collection,
but sometime toward the
F
end of my junior year,
C
G
I got caught, and I fell for her hard.
F
Yeah, Eileen really turned me on.
C
I'm breathing hard there
G
in that Thunderbird.
Fridge kissing with her,
until it seems like
F
something's gotta give.
C
G
Her, hope. or maybe what it is
that's straining at the inseam
F
of my bell -bottom jeans
as we writhe around on the narrow
C
vinyl of the back seat
G
whoa she suddenly sits straight up
F
pushes me off and transfixes me with those two
C
sharp steely blue Irish Eisenbergs
G
which aren't smiling at all
and she balls up her fists
F
I can I tell she's determined
to say something big.
C
G
Tension's getting so tangible in the car,
you could cut it with a
pair of scissors.
F
And I brace myself,
C
G
and then all in a rush, she blurts it out.
She doesn't want to see me anymore.
F
It's not what she needs
for herself right now.
C
G
It's gotten too intense, so it's over.
Don't bother to call.
G
Scissors cut paper,
C
G
the stone breaks them apart.
Em
But under that paper,
C
Am
D
that old stone's in the dark.
G
We get back in the front seat
C
G
And I drive her home
C
G
and roll off down the road
Am
To the loneliness zone
C
D
G
And go home and get stoned
Scissors cut paper you
Nagustuhan mo ba ang kanta?
