All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold.
        A                                 G
All the kids are talking slang i won?t pretend to understand.
       D                                  A               D
All my friends are getting married. mortgages and pension plans.
         G
And it?s obvious my angry adolescent days are done.
        D
And i?m happy and i?m settled in the person i?ve become.
         A                               G
But that doesn?t mean i?m settled up and sitting out the game-

      G
Oh  maturity?s a wrapped-up package deal or so it seems.
D
Ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams.
         A                               G
All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will
        D              A               D

      D
About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate.
      A                                 G
About meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity.
        A                                      D     (deixe tocar)
Well if that?s your road then take it but it?s not the road for me.
