::Verse 1 played with Riff A::

I wanna be your manchild
Lets all go-it hog wild
She said ill see you later
I always gravitate to her
Lets all meet at the station
No heavy concentration
We could all hook up there
The kids are all right there

::Chorus::

D A
Should we go out later
D A C B A
Showtime for strangers

::Verse 2 – play Riff A all the way muted::

Dontcha give a *** anymore now
She's givin up on you now
Do it for the kids they say
It ain't about you anyway

::Verse 3 – same as other verses::

I say we're all grown up now
And sex ain't so safe now
It's all in the groove they say
Doesn't matter anyway
::chorus::

D A
Should we go out later

Showtime for strangers

Keep me runnin' like a deer in the headlights
All for nothing I thought

About the day I tried to tame her
Never tried to blame her

Okay, I see both the sex and divorce theories to an extent. This is what I got out of the song... The first verse is the initial "hookup". That's pretty damn obvious. Second verse is the girl not giving a fuck about him anymore and getting ready to leave him. "I say we're all grown up now And sex ain't so safe now" To me this sounds like the couple had an accidental child, which would make sense with the "Went to fast I'm out of luck and I don't even give a fuck" part, meaning he went too fast in the relationship or whatever (or just got straight down to sex and wasn't wearing a condom or whatever, idk) and they conceived a child and even though she wants to leave him, everyone is saying "do it for the kids".
