(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#
