Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

* ([D-5]): x00132

Intro

Sure it's a gas, stuck in an English class, can't even dream,

 So it's hard to accept the role you're given

 when you're sittin there starin at the ceilin

 wishing you were so very far from here...

 when you're thirteen

What fors and whys, if he's got it why can't I, oh my queen,

 and I dream about you when I'm in my bed, and if all of these

things are like you said, then I'd rather be in another sea...

 when I'm fourteen.

Just not fair, I'm not gettin anywhere, hard as a stone,

 they expect us to make it out alone, and they scream at us

when we're on the phone, and they lecture us all about routine...

 when you're fifteen.

Get out of here, you're crowding my tender years, don't say you see,

 cause you've forgotten what it's like to be, and I'm sure that it's

changed to some degree, Christ advice ain't never as it seems...

 when you're sixteen.

Four years gone, four and before you know, you're now of age,

 and you're thrown in a different cage, and you're faced with another

 blank page, and I know I don't need to be told...
