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