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