  C                            F       G   F
I wake up every morning with no-one beside me
  C                                F         G   F
I wake up every morning and my mother will chide me
    Am              G (Lick)    Am              G
I'm just a Suburban Boy,        just a Suburban Boy
C               F          G   F
Saturday night, no subway stations
C              F                 G   F
Saturday night just changing TV stations
      Am            G (Lick)       Am              G
I'm just a Suburban Boy,           just a Suburban Boy
    F                G
And I know what it's like
   C           Am
To be rejected every night
        F            G      F       G             C
And I'm sure it must be, easier for boys from the city

Repeat intro riff x2

I go to the football to cheer for my team
I go to the football just to hear myself scream
I'm just a Suburban Boy, just a Suburban Boy
Sunday Session ? I'm down at the hotel
Staring at girls that I don't know, well
I'm just a Suburban Boy, just a Suburban Boy
And I know what it's like
To be rejected every night
And I'm sure it must be, easier for boys from the city

Repeat intro riff x2

I wake up every morning with no-one beside me
I wake up every morning and my mother will chide me
I'm just a Suburban Boy, just a Suburban Boy
Saturday night, no subway station
Saturday night just changing TV stations
I'm just a Suburban Boy, just a Suburban Boy
And I know what it's like
I'v been rejected every night
And I'm sure it must be, easier for boys from the city

Repeat intro riff x3 to finish
