Well you aint got no life anymore.

F                          C
And you miss being younger a boy
with a hunger
G                         Am
to get far away from this town.

just knew that you'd make it somehow.

Now 20 years older shoulder
to shoulder
G                             Am
with boys who we're just like you
F                    C
Spending their lives underground
G                          Am
proving their collars are blue.
