Intro
B E B F# B
[Verse]
B
I wake up in the morning and I drink from the fountain.
I wake up in the morning with the same unanswered questions.
E F# B
I don't know what's going to cure my unsettled stomach.
Street kids collect spare change in a conch shell on the side walk;
their teeth are yellow, their hair is tangled.
E F# B
Their minds are vapid and they laugh wild in their depravity.
C#m F# B E
I'll make my way back home to you, head north on San Marco Avenue.
C#m F# B E
White crosses on the church lawn, I want to smash them all.
B E
I want to smash them all.
B E B
Pony tails swinging back and forth behind beach blonde college girls out for a jog.
E F# B
Saint Augustine, shine your light down on me!
Pop hits from the 90's echo out of tourist filled bars.
E F#
I am met with arms crossed under dirty looks, I am treated like a common
B
thief.
[Chorus]
G#m
Eaves-dropping in on conversation, I wander aimless leering at strangers.
E F# B
Strung out on the amphetamines that you gave to me.
G#m
Eye-balled with suspicion by a pencil skirt in high heels,
you realize that you're talking to yourself.
E F# B
Cannon fire explodes out over the bay.
[Chorus]

2. I Was G# Teenage Anarchist
Capo 3
[Verse 1]
F#
I was a teenage anarchist
F#
Looking for a revolution
D#m
I had the style, I had the ambition

Read all the authors I knew the right slogans

There was no war but the class war

[Verse 2]
F#
I was a teenage anarchist
F#
But the politics were too convenient
D#m
In the depths of their humanity
D#m
All I saw was bloodless ideology
F#
With freedom as their doctrine
F#
Guess who was the new authority
D#m
I was a teenage anarchist
D#m
But the politics were too convenient
[Chorus]
F# C# B F#
Do you remember when you were young
C# B
And you wanted to set the world on fire
F# C# B F#
Do you remember when you were young
C# B
And you wanted to set the world on fire
F#
When you were young
C# B

[Verse 3]
F#
I was a teenage anarchist
F#
But then the scene got too rigid
G#m
It was mob mentality
G#m
They set their rifle sights on me
B
Narrow visions of autonomy
B
You want me to surrender my identity
C#
I was a teenage anarchist
[stop]
The revolution was a lie
[Chorus]
F# C# B F#
Do you remember when you were young
C# B
And you wanted to set the world on fire
F# C# B F#
Do you remember when you were young
C# B
And you wanted to set the world on fire
F#
When you were young
C# B
And you wanted to set the world on fire
F#
When you were young
C# B
And you wanted to set the world on fire
F#
I was a teenage anarchist (4x)
