[Verse]
B
I think I'm gonna start a band
C# F#
The great depression is at hand
Ebm B
People will mourn across the land
C# F#
Yeah, I'm gonna start a band
(tomt) B
Or maybe I should write a book
C# F#
and let the critics have a look
Ebm B
They'll hail me as the new James Joyce
C# F#
The audience won't have a choice
[Chorus]
C#
But the popstars sing:
F# Ebm
You know that I love you
B C#
You know that I need you
F# Ebm
16 years tomorrow
B C#
and I'll never leave you
[Verse]
B
I'm 17 and tired of life
C# F#
Under my pillow is a knife
Ebm B
I'm sick and tired of this world
C# F#
But yet I haven't kissed a girl
B
I know this world is full of pain
C# F#
Oh yeah I haven't cried in vain
Ebm B
'Cause my dog died the other day
C# F#
and nothing can wash my tears away
[Chorus]
C#
But the popstars sing:
F# Ebm
You know that I love you
B C#
You know that I need you
F# Ebm
16 years tomorrow
B C#
and I'll never leave you
[Verse]
And I won't sing that I love you
I only sing things that are true
and I won't sing no la la la la la
Because I'm not in love with you
[Chorus]
C#
But the popstars sing:
F# Ebm
You know that I love you
B C#
You know that I need you
F# Ebm
16 years tomorrow
B C#
and I'll never leave you
[Outro]
