Capo 3
[Verse]
G
I was a teenage anarchist
G
Looking for a revolution
Em
I had the style, I had the ambition
Em
Read all the authors I knew the right slogans
G
There was no war but the class war
G
I was ready to set the world on fire
Em
I was a teenage anarchist
Em
Looking for a revolution
[Chorus]
G D C G
Do you remember when you were young
D C
And you wanted to set the world on fire
G D C G
Do you remember when you were young
D C
And you wanted to set the world on fire
[Verse 2]
G
I was a teenage anarchist
G
But the politics were too convenient
Em
In the depths of their humanity
Em
All I saw was bloodless ideology
G
With freedom as their doctrine
G
Guess who was the new authority
Em
I was a teenage anarchist
Em
But the politics were too convenient
[Chorus]
G D C G
Do you remember when you were young
D C
And you wanted to set the world on fire
G D C G
Do you remember when you were young
D C
And you wanted to set the world on fire
G
When you were young
D C
And you wanted to set the world on fire
[Verse 3]
G
I was a teenage anarchist
G
But then the scene got too rigid
Em
It was mob mentality
Em
They set their rifle sights on me
G
Narrow visions of autonomy
G
You want me to surrender my identity
Em
I was a teenage anarchist
[stop]
The revolution was a lie
[Chorus]
G D C G
Do you remember when you were young
D C
And you wanted to set the world on fire
G D C G
Do you remember when you were young
D C
And you wanted to set the world on fire
G
When you were young
D C
And you wanted to set the world on fire
G
When you were young
D C
And you wanted to set the world on fire
G
I was a teenage anarchist (4x)
