[Intro]
C F C F Am F
[Verse 1]
C F
My teacher doesn't stand a chance

When all I can think about is my school-yard romance

He says
Am F
"Look at the next generation what a state
C F C
I wouldn't laugh if I were you mate"
[Pre-Chorus]
G G7
Silence makes the darkest sound
[Verse 2]
C Am F
Down The Gangway for some one on one
C F
She un-squared me with her cola bottle tongue
C Am F
She's one of those who has an open mind
C Am F C
But she knows it all anyway so I'm just wasting time
[Pre-Chorus]
G G7
As silence makes the darkest sound it's
[Chorus]
F C
Better when you're around
F
You know me
C
Inside out
F
You know when
DM
To sit me down
G
And sort me out
C Am F C
Growing up true is hard to do [2x]
[Verse 3]
C F
When I go to sleep at night
C F
I wake up blind because my dreams are so bright
C Am F
Can't wait to die, come back as something else
C F C
Knowing my luck I'll come back as myself
[Pre-Chorus]
G G7
As money makes the world go down
[Verse 4]
C F
Me and my friends are bored
C F
Looking at things we can't afford
C Am F
We've got no food and we haven't got the booze
C F C
If we wanna get depressed we can always read the news
[Pre-Chorus]
G G7
As money makes the world go down
[Chorus]
F C
Better when you're around
F
You know me
C
Inside out
F
You know when
DM
To sit me down
G
And sort me out
[Interlude] x4
C Am F C
Growing up true is hard to do
[Outro]
C
It all adds up to zero
F
And counts for nothing now
Am
It all adds up to zero
C
When you're not around
