G               Em      Am7    Am7   Am7/G 
     Was an honest man 
Am7/G           D                          D 
              They asked me for the phone 
               D                       D 
     They tried to take control 
                C               C 
     Oh, I don't see it that way 
     Am              Am          G  G  G  G            
     I don't see it that way 
 G                         Em    Am7   Am7   Am7/G        
     Oh, we shared some ideas 
Am7/G  D                          D 
             All obsessed with fame 
       D                         D 
     Says we're all the same 
                C               C 
     Oh, I don't see it that way 
     Am               Am         Am  Am 
     I don't see it that way 
         G             G     Em  Em 
     Friends can care alike now 
Bm   Bm       Am       Am 
         I'm not like that 
        G      G     Em  Em 
     Trying to remind her 
Bm Bm              Am   Am 
     When we go back 
          G                         G 
     I miss the last bus, I take the next train 
       Bm                         Am 
     I try but you see it's hard to explain 
        G                                 G 
     I say the right thing but act the wrong way 
                  Bm               Am 
     I like it right here but I cannot stay 
         G                         G 
     I watch the TV, forget what I'm told 
             Bm                             Am 
     Well, I am too young, and they are too old 
             G                              G 
     The joke is on you, this place is a zoo 
              Bm                      INTROD. 
     Your ride is through 
 
G                 Em      Am7  Am7  Am7/G 
     As if she can't decide 
Am7/G      D                         D 
              I shake my head to say 
          D                            D 
     Everything's just great 
               C                 C 
     Oh, I just can't remember 
   Am                  Am        Am  Am 
     I just can't remember 
      G                G     Em  Em 
     Friends can care alike now 
            Bm   Bm       Am         Am 
     She says, I'm not like that 
        G      G     Em  Em 
     Trying to remind her 
Bm  Bm             Am    Am 
     When we go back 
        G                                   G

     Well, I am too young, and they are too old 
              G                                G 
     Oh, man, can't you see I'm ever so keen 
           Bm                      Am 
     Pretend to be nice but I can be mean 
          G                              G 
     I miss the last bus, you take the next train 
       Bm                         Am 
     I try but you see it's hard to explain
