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