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