(Verse) 
Gmaj7        A7                F#m/A   Bm/A 
Why should I care if I have to cut my hair? 
            A11           A             D            
I've got to move with the fashion or be outcast. 
Gmaj7           A7                F#m/A             Bm/A 
I know I should fight, but my old man, he's really alright, 
        A11             A                         D 
And I'm still living at home even though it won't last.

Zoot suit, white jacket with side vents five in-ches long 
    C   D      C      D              C  G    C  A 
I'm out on the street again, and I'm leaping a--long. 
G       A           G     A            G    D     G  A7 
Dressed right for a beach fight, but I just can't explain why that 
G         F                C          Gmaj7  A7   F#m/A Bm/A   A11 A   D 
Uncertain feeling is still here in my brain.

The kids at school have parents that    seem so cool, and though I 
A11           A                      D 
Don't want to hurt 'em, mine want me their way 
Gmaj7                  A7            F#m/A                  Bm/A 
I clean my room and my shoes, but my mother found a box of blues 
          A11               A                   D 
And there doesn't seem much hope they'll let me stay

Why do I have to be different from them 
        Am7                   G 
Just to earn the respect of a dance hall friend? 
A                    Asus4          A       A7 
We have the same old row, again and again.

Why do I have to move with a crowd

I work myself to death just to fit in.

I'm coming down, got home on the very first train from town.

My dad just left for work, he wasn't talking. 
Gmaj7      A7          F#m/A               Bm/A

   A11                F#7                      Bm 
My fried egg makes me sick first thing in the morning.
