(intro) Ab C#
Ab C#
Well,how come you only want tomorrow
Ab C#
With its promise of something hard to do
Ab Eb
A real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold
F# C# Ab
Blue skies above and sun on your arms strength in your stride
Eb
And hope in those squeaky clean eyes
F#
You'll get chilly receptions everywhere you go
C# Ab Eb
Blinded with desire - guess the season is on
Ab C#
So you train by the shadow boxing, search for the truth
But it's all, but it's all used up
Ab
Break open your million dollar weapon
C#
And push your luck, still you push, still you push your luck
Ab
A broken nosed mogul are you
Eb
One of the new wave boys
F#
Same old thing in brand new drag
C# Ab Eb
Comes sweeping into view, oh-ooh
F#
As ugly as a teenage millionaire
C# Ab
Pretending it's a whizz kid world
Eb
You'll take me aside, and say
F#
"well David, what shall I do?"
C#
They wait for me in the hallway"
Ab C#
I'll say "dont ask me, I don't know any hallways"
Ab Eb
But they move in numbers and they've got me in a corner
Ab
I feel like a group of one,no-no
C#
They can't do this to me
Ab C# Ab
I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife
Fm Eb
Those midwives to history put on their bloody robes
Fm Eb
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 Eb
You fall to the ground like a leaf from the tree
Ab C#
And look up one time at the vast blue sky
Fm
Scream out aloud as they shoot you down
F# C# Ab C#
No no, I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife
Ab C# Ab Eb F# C# Ab Eb
I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife
C# Ab C# Ab
And no one will have seen and no on will confess
C# Ab C#
The fingerprints will prove that you couldn't pass the test G#
C# Ab 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
Ab C#
Another piece of teenage wildlife, 0h-0h-0h-ohh
Ab C#
Another piece of teenage wildlife, 0h-oh-oh-ohh
Ab
Another piece of teenage wild....
