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