Verse
C
I think I'm gonna start a band
D G
The great depression is at hand
Fbm 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
Fbm 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 Fbm
You know that I love you
C D
You know that I need you
G Fbm
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
Fbm 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
Fbm C
'Cause my dog died the other day
D G
and nothing can wash my tears away
[Chorus]
D
But the popstars sing:
G Fbm
You know that I love you
C D
You know that I need you
G Fbm
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 Fbm
You know that I love you
C D
You know that I need you
G Fbm
16 years tomorrow
C D
and I'll never leave you
