A5 (+Riff)
I've got the last time coming
Sit up, stand down
Guts up off the concrete
Don't frown, Back to school
E5           D5
Blues, It's True

A5 (+Riff)
I've got the nationwide
Bug-eyed, I tried, It died
"I want what I want" I cried
               E5
And I lied for you
     D5                  A5
It's true. It's all for you

CHORUS [x2]
                  E5          D5
But I think we're too young
                                A5
To really know what's going on

A5 (+Riff)
I can't even think straight
My guts are a dead weight
Leaden blood in my veins like mud
    E5         D5
For you. It's true.

A5 (+Riff)
And I certainly can't sleep right
My muscles are all tight
I lie in my attic and I dream and I write
                  E5           D5
Stories about you,  And about me
                 A5
But mostly about you

CHORUS [x2]
                  E5          D5
But I think we're too young
                                A5
To really know what's going on

             C#5                   D5
And when the week was up, I'd been jailed and skipped court
A5                       E5
Stolen bail, and by the time your mother made it clear
    C#5                                            E5
I'd surely fail, I was bare chested howling at the moon
               D5                  A5
I promise it's true. It's all for you

CHORUS [x2] + Riff
                  E5          D5
But I think we're too young
                                A5
To really know what's going on
