Verse
C#
I think I'm gonna start a band
D# G#
The great depression is at hand
Fm C#
People will mourn across the land
D# G#
Yeah, I'm gonna start a band
(tomt) C#
Or maybe I should write a book
D# G#
and let the critics have a look
Fm C#
They'll hail me as the new James Joyce
D# G#
The audience won't have a choice
[Chorus]
D#
But the popstars sing:
G# Fm
You know that I love you
C# D#
You know that I need you
G# Fm
16 years tomorrow
C# D#
and I'll never leave you
[Verse]
C#
I'm 17 and tired of life
D# G#
Under my pillow is a knife
Fm C#
I'm sick and tired of this world
D# G#
But yet I haven't kissed a girl
C#
I know this world is full of pain
D# G#
Oh yeah I haven't cried in vain
Fm C#
'Cause my dog died the other day
D# G#
and nothing can wash my tears away
[Chorus]
D#
But the popstars sing:
G# Fm
You know that I love you
C# D#
You know that I need you
G# Fm
16 years tomorrow
C# D#
and I'll never leave you
[Verse]
And I won't sing that I love you
I only sing things that are true
and I won't sing no la la la la la
Because I'm not in love with you
[Chorus]
D#
But the popstars sing:
G# Fm
You know that I love you
C# D#
You know that I need you
G# Fm
16 years tomorrow
C# D#
and I'll never leave you

You know that I need you

16 years tomorrow

and I'll never leave you (x2) (Slutar med ett G)
