[Intro]
D
[Verse]
D
Oh I could bore you with the truth
About an uneventful youth
G A D
Or you could get that rap from someone else
And I could make an observation
If you are the voice of a generation
G A D
But I’m too self absorbed to give it clout
[Pre-Chorus]
G D
And I, I don’t really care about
G D
Anybody else when I haven’t got my whole life figured out
A
Cause when you’re young and bored and 24
And you don’t know who you are no more
[Chorus]
D
There's no hope
G F#m E
And it’s hard to come of age
A(2) D
I think it’s a ?roblem
G F#m E
And it never goes my way
A(2) D G F#m E
And no, I am so self-obsessed
A(2) D
I guess, but there’s no hope
G F#m E
But I hope it’s just a phase
A(2) D(5)
Or I’ll grow-oh-oh-oh
[Verse]
D
Oh I could look for inspiration
Find it in a chart on an English station
G A D
but wouldn’t that be cheap and ill-informed
And I could bet you don’t believe me
If I said it came from deep within me
G A D
But I promise you I’m telling you the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
G D
And I, I don’t really care about
G D
Anybody else when I haven’t got my whole life figured out
A
Cause when you’re 24 and young and bored
And you don’t know who you are no more
[Chorus]
D
There's no hope
G F#m E
And it’s hard to come of age
A(2) D
I think it’s a ?roblem
G F#m E
And it'll never go away
A D G F#m E
And no, I am so self-obsessed
A D
I guess, but there’s no hope
G F#m E
But I hope it’s just a phase
A D
And I’ll grow
[Verse]
D
Well I wish that I was comfortable in my own skin
But the whole thing feels like an exercise
G
And drank would be someone I would rather not be
I’d try to second guess if you would be approving
D
I find my life ever so moving
Keen wide-eyed and unassuming
A
Ho?e
D
There is no hope
But there’s desperately
D
No hope, but there’s definitely
G
No hope if you don’t believe me
A
Oh, oh, oh
D
And there is no hope
But there’s desperately
D
No hope, but there’s definitely
G
No hope if you don’t believe me
A
Oh, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
G D
But I, I don’t really care about
G D
Anybody else when I haven’t got my whole life figured out
A
Cause when you’re 24 and young and bored
And you don’t know who you are no more
[Chorus]
D
There's no hope
G F#m E
And it’s hard to come of age
A(2) D
I think it’s a ?roblem
G F#m E
And it never goes my way
A(2) D G F#m E
And no, I am so self-obsessed
A(2) D
I guess, but there’s no hope
G F#m E
But I hope it’s just a phase
A(2)
Or I’ll grow
[Chorus]
D G F#m E
There is no hope
A(2) D
I know, it's a problem
G F#m E
And it never goes my way
A(2) D G F#m E
And no, I am so self-obsessed
A(2) D
I guess, but there’s no hope
G F#m E
But I hope it’s just a ?hase
A(2) end on A D
Or I’ll grow-oh-oh-oh
