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