Intro
F# B F# C# F#
[Verse]
F#
I wake up in the morning and I drink from the fountain.
I wake up in the morning with the same unanswered questions.
B C# F#
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.
B C# F#
Their minds are vapid and they laugh wild in their depravity.
G#m C# F# B
I'll make my way back home to you, head north on San Marco Avenue.
G#m C# F# B
White crosses on the church lawn, I want to smash them all.
F# B
I want to smash them all.
F# B F#
Pony tails swinging back and forth behind beach blonde college girls out for a jog.
B C# F#
Saint Augustine, shine your light down on me!
Pop hits from the 90's echo out of tourist filled bars.
B C#
I am met with arms crossed under dirty looks, I am treated like a common
F#
thief.
[Chorus]
D#m
Eaves-dropping in on conversation, I wander aimless leering at strangers.
B C# F#
Strung out on the amphetamines that you gave to me.
D#m
Eye-balled with suspicion by a pencil skirt in high heels,
you realize that you're talking to yourself.
B C# F#
Cannon fire explodes out over the bay.
[Chorus]

2. I Was D# Teenage Anarchist
Capo 3
[Verse 1]
C#
I was a teenage anarchist
C#
Looking for a revolution
A#m
I had the style, I had the ambition
A#m
Read all the authors I knew the right slogans
C#
There was no war but the class war
C#
I was ready to set the world on fire
A#m
I was a teenage anarchist
A#m
Looking for a revolution
[Chorus]

Do you remember when you were young

And you wanted to set the world on fire
C# G# F# C#
Do you remember when you were young
G# F#
And you wanted to set the world on fire
[Verse 2]
C#
I was a teenage anarchist
C#
But the politics were too convenient
A#m
In the depths of their humanity
A#m
All I saw was bloodless ideology
C#
With freedom as their doctrine
C#
Guess who was the new authority
A#m
I was a teenage anarchist
A#m
But the politics were too convenient
[Chorus]
C# G# F# C#
Do you remember when you were young
G# F#
And you wanted to set the world on fire
C# G# F# C#
Do you remember when you were young
G# F#
And you wanted to set the world on fire
C#
When you were young
G# F#
And you wanted to set the world on fire
[Verse 3]
C#
I was a teenage anarchist
C#
But then the scene got too rigid
D#m
It was mob mentality
D#m
They set their rifle sights on me
F#
Narrow visions of autonomy
F#
You want me to surrender my identity
G#
I was a teenage anarchist
[stop]
The revolution was a lie
[Chorus]
C# G# F# C#
Do you remember when you were young
G# F#
And you wanted to set the world on fire
C# G# F# C#
Do you remember when you were young
G# F#
And you wanted to set the world on fire
C#
When you were young
G# F#
And you wanted to set the world on fire
C#
When you were young
G# F#
And you wanted to set the world on fire
C#
I was a teenage anarchist (4x)
