Text File

VERSE 1:
C
Oh what's wrong with me
Dsus2 G
 Said oh what's wrong with me
Am F
    I know what I don't want to be
Em
  A dead end on the family tree
      C
And I just lost my virginity
Dsus2 G                          Am
 To a girl who won't remember me and I
F
 Took her out on a shopping spree
F
Happiness never happened for free
C
 Could it be that I imagined things
Dsus2 G
       I'm just sad instead of heartbroken
Am F
    She came home but she's leaving again
Em
   She's coming back but she won't say when

CHORUS:
      C
And I don't sing songs anymore
  G
I don't feel young anymore
         Am
And it's hard to conceal
                                    C
That these tears that I cry are for real
E        E7
Anymore

VERSE 2 (same chords):
My pop said I should be like him
My mom says I can live with them
I had to ask my little brother to lend me
Change for the bus 'til I see him again
I'm gettin� drunk every day of the week
My ship sunk but it had no leak
A fortune teller on Bishop Street
She read my hand and the future is bleak
I'm tired of sitting upon the fence
I've got no self confidence
Why don't I have a circle of friends?
I'm so square they don't even pretend

CHORUS
      C
And I don't sing songs anymore
  G
I don't feel young anymore
         Am
And it's hard to conceal
                                    G    Dm
That these tears that I cry are for real
   Am   Em/B  C  Dm
Anymore

BRIDGE:
Am  Em/B  C  Dm
Am            Em/B           C
   Don't give in, don't give in
        Dm
You can never let them win
Am            Em/B           C    Dm
   Don't give in, don't give in
          E
But I get cold
      E
Oh I get cold
      Am
Every night, night, night
                       C
Without a prayer in my heart, heart, heart
         E
Oh I get cold
            E
Yeah, I get cold
      Am            Em/B
Every night, night, night
                       C             Dm
Without a prayer in my heart, heart, heart
   Am   Em/B   C   Dm   Am   Em/B   C   Dm   Am
Oh no

VERSE 3 (same chords):
C
Oh what's wrong with me
      G
 Said oh Lord what's wrong with me
Am F
    I know what I don't wanna be
Em
   A dead end on the family tree
        C
And the train for my salvation
   Dsus2 G
Is de-   parting from the station
Am        F
She don't feel like conversation
       Dm           C
So I'm talking to myself
        Dsus2 G
I got nobody  else
         Am        F
I got my bottle of booze and my stale cigarettes
              Em
Down from the shelf

CHORUS:
      C
And I don't sing songs anymore
  G
I don't feel young anymore
         Am
And it's hard to conceal
                                    C
That these tears that I cry are for real
   E    E7
Anymore
   Am
