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