Tabbed by ; James Frampton

Intro: The intro is tabbed very well by someone else on this page.

Verse:
 G5     E5     A5
Was an honest man
D5                     D5
Asked me for the phone
 D5                 D5
Tried to take control
      C5
Oh I don't see it that way
   A5
I don't see it that way

We shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Pre-CHORUS:
 G5         E5
Raised in Carolina
 B5          D5
I'm not like that
G5           E5
Tryin' to remind her
B5          D5
When we go back

CHORUS:
  G5            
I missed the last bus
   G5
I'll take the next train
  B5
I try, but you see
  A5
It's hard to explain
  G5
I said the right things
  G5 
But act the wrong way
  B5
I like it right here 
   A5
But I cannot stay
   G5
I watched the TV
   G5 
Forget what I'm told
   B5
Well I am too young 
   A5
And they are too old
   G5
The joke is on you
   G5
This place is a zoo
   B5
You're right, it's true

Break. (like the intro kinda)

Verse:

He said he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everythings just great
Oh I just can't remember
I just can't remember
Pre-CHORUS:
Raised in Carolina (she says)
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back
CHORUS:
I say the right things
But act the wrong way
I like it right here 
But I cannot stay
I watched the TV
Forget what I'm told
I am too young 
And they are too old
I'll make it you see 
I'm ever so pleased
Pretend to be nice
So I can be mean
I missed the last bus
I'll take the next train
I try, but you see
It's hard to explain
