( intro ) G# C#

G# C#
well , how come you only want tomorrow

G# C#
with its promise of something hard to do

G# D#
a real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold

F# C# G#
blue skies above and sun on your arms strength in your stride

D#
and hope in those squeaky clean eyes

F#
you’ll get chilly receptions everywhere you go

C# G# D#
blinded with desire – guess the season is on

G# C#
so you train by the shadow boxing , search for the truth

but it’s all , but it’s all used up

G#
break open your million dollar weapon

C#
and push your luck , still you push , still you push your luck

G#
a broken nosed mogul are you

D#
one of the new wave boys

F#
same old thing in brand new drag

C# G# D#
comes sweeping into view , oh – ooh

F#
as ugly as a teenage millionaire

C# G#
pretending it’s a whizz kid world

D#
you’ll take me aside , and say

F#
“well david , what shall i do?”

C#
they wait for me in the hallway”

G# C#
i’ll say “dont ask me , i don’t know any hallways”

G# D#
but they move in numbers and they’ve got me in a corner

G#
i feel like a group of one , no – no

C#
they can’t do this to me

G# C# G#
i’m not some piece of teenage wildlife

Fm D#
those midwives to history put on their bloody robes

Fm D#
the word is that the hunted one is out there on his own

F#
you’re alone for maybe the last time

and you breath for a long time

C#
then you howl like a wolf in a trap

and you daren’t look behind

Fm D#
you fall to the ground like a leaf from the tree

G# C#
and look up one time at the vast blue sky

Fm
scream out aloud as they shoot you down

F# C# G# C#
no no , i’m not a piece of teenage wildlife

G# C# G# D# F# C# G# D#
i’m not a piece of teenage wildlife

C# G# C# G#
and no one will have seen and no on will confess

C# G# C#
the fingerprints will prove that you couldn’t pass the test G#

C# G# C#
there’ll be others on the line filing past , who’ll whisper low G#

C#
i miss you he really had to go

well each to his own , he was
