A Amaj7 
Ever since I was a kid at school 
A7 D 
I messed around with all the rules 
Dm A E A 
Apologized then realized I‘m not different after all 
Amaj7 A7 D 
Me & the boys thought we had it sussed Valentinos all of us 
Dm A E A 
My dad said we looked rediculous but boy we broke some hearts 
 
 
Amaj7 A7 D 
In and out of jobs runnin free wagin war with society 
Dm A E A 
Some blank faces stare back at me & nothin ever changed 
Amaj7 A7 D 
Promises made in the heat of the night creepin home before it got too light 
Dm A E A 
I wasted all that precious time and blamed it on the wine 
 
 
 
A D E A 
Cho...I was only jo-king my dear (my dear) 
D E A 
Looking for a way to hide my fear (my fear) 
D E A 
What kind of fo-ol was I (was I) 
E 
I could never win (never win) ......Riff 
 
 
A Amaj7 A7 D 
Never found a comprimise collected lovers like butterflies 
Dm A E A 
Illusions of that grand first prize are slowly wasted 
Amaj7 A7 D 
Suzie baby you were good to me givin‘ love unselfishly 
Dm A 
But you took it all too seriously 
E A 
I guess it had to end 
 
Cho... 
 
Inst...verse,cho,verse,cho.. 
 
Amaj7 A7 D 
Now you ask me if I‘m sincere that‘s the question that I always fear 
Dm A E A 
The first seven is never clear but I‘ll tell you what you wanna hear 
Amaj7 A7 D 
I‘ll try to give you all you want but givin‘ love is not my strongest point 
Dm A E A 
If that‘s the case it‘s pointless goin‘ on I‘d rather be alone 
Amaj7 A7 D 
‘Cause what I‘m doin must be wrong pourin‘ my heart out in a song 
Dm A E A 
Owning up for prosperity for the whole damn world to see 
Amaj7 A7 D 
Quietly now while I turn a page Act 20‘s over without costume change 
Dm A 
The principal would like to leave the stage 
E A 
The crowd don‘t understand
