BWell (x2444x@1)oh they might wear classic Reeboks
BOr (x2444x@1)knackered Converse
BOr (x2444x@1)tracky bottoms tucked in socks
EBut (022100@1)all of that's what the point is not
                                EThe (022100@1)point's that there ain't no romance around there
BAnd (x2444x@1)there's the truth that they can't see
BThey'd (x2444x@1)probably like to throw a punch at me
B (x2444x@1)    EAnd (022100@1)if you could only see them, then you would agree
EAgree (022100@1)that there ain't no romance around there

BAnd (x2444x@1)over there there's broken bones
BThere's (x2444x@1)only music, so that there's new ringtones
E (022100@1) And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
                     ETo (022100@1)see it's a little different around here
BDon't (x2444x@1)get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands
BAnd (x2444x@1)kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
EAnd (022100@1)just cause he's had a coupla cans
                          EHe (022100@1)thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead

The same as the previous one but played twice.
