I got a scent on you, I got something here to show,
C#m7b5 Am7 Am7(type2)
It's somebody's slice of life,
I had it tailor made, I had it soaken,
C#m7b5 Am7 Am7(type2)
Shaken and... shown around the world! | / / / / | / / / / |
And of all these things you tell me, I can't quite believe,
You are still there, and I'm still trying... to be somebody!
Always on the upkeep, always trying to reach the rest of us,
We don't have... anything to say, nothing to give, well, life, it blows away,
I have another chance, I may have two lives,
But my... both my lives will be... brief lives,
And then, you all will wonder why!
I was only sixteen years old, you were only seventeen,
Life isn't so complicated, but then life isn't 'sposed to be!
For all------ these years, for all--- these years! | / / / / | / / / / |

Could somebody tell them, to hurry on, hurry on down,
Cm9(no5) B7b9
Could somebody tell them to hurry on, hurry on!
Every censor, everybody loses their way,
I have a wealth of material, I have a well of people to share with you,
Every lover, well, they all tell lies,
I have his wife in the background, but I have more than this,
I have more than this!
And if... Mr. Chaste, he has a past,
Give it to me!
I was only sixteen years old, you were only seventeen,
Life isn't so complicated, but then life isn't 'sposed to be!
For all------ these years, for all--- these years! | / / / / | / / / / |
