Verse
A#
I think I'm gonna start a band
C F
The great depression is at hand
Dm A#
People will mourn across the land
C F
Yeah, I'm gonna start a band
(tomt) A#
Or maybe I should write a book
C F
and let the critics have a look
Dm A#
They'll hail me as the new James Joyce
C F
The audience won't have a choice
[Chorus]
C
But the popstars sing:
F Dm
You know that I love you
A# C
You know that I need you
F Dm
16 years tomorrow
A# C
and I'll never leave you
[Verse]
A#
I'm 17 and tired of life
C F
Under my pillow is a knife
Dm A#
I'm sick and tired of this world
C F
But yet I haven't kissed a girl
A#
I know this world is full of pain
C F
Oh yeah I haven't cried in vain
Dm A#
'Cause my dog died the other day
C F
and nothing can wash my tears away
[Chorus]
C
But the popstars sing:
F Dm
You know that I love you
A# C
You know that I need you
F Dm
16 years tomorrow
A# C
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]
C
But the popstars sing:
F Dm
You know that I love you
A# C
You know that I need you
F Dm
16 years tomorrow
A# C
and I'll never leave you
[Outro]
F# D#m
You know that I love you
B C#
You know that I need you
F# D#m
16 years tomorrow
B C#
and I'll never leave you (x2) (Slutar med ett G)
