A (+Riff)
I've got the last time coming
Sit up, stand down
Guts up off the concrete
Don't frown, Back to school
[E]Blues, It's [D]True
A (+Riff)
I've got the nationwide
Bug-eyed, I tried, It died
"I want what I want" I cried
And I lied for [E]you
It's [D]true. It's all for [A]you
CHORUS (x2)
But I think we're [E]too young[D]
To really know what's going on[A]
A (+Riff)
I can't even think straight
My guts are a dead weight
Leaden blood in my veins like mud
For [E]you. It's [D]true.
A (+Riff)
And I certainly can't sleep right
My muscles are all tight
I lie in my attic and I dream and I write
Stories about you,[E] And about [D]me
But mostly about [A]you
CHORUS (x2)
But I think we're [E]too young[D]
To really know what's going on[A]
And when the [C#m]week was up, I'd been [D]jailed and skipped court
[A]Stolen bail, and by the [E]time your mother made it clear
I'd [C#m]surely fail, I was bare chested howling at the [E]moon
I promise it's [D]true. It's all for [A]you
CHORUS (x2) + Riff
But I think we're [E]too young[D]
To really know what's going on[A]
