 AAmaj7
 Ever since I was a kid at school
 A7D
 I messed around with all the rules
 DmAEA
 Apologized then realized I'm not different after all
 Amaj7A7D
Me & the boys thought we had it sussed Valentinos all of us
 DmAEA
 My dad said we looked rediculous but boy we broke some hearts
 Amaj7A7D
In and out of jobs runnin free wagin war with society
 DmAEA
 Some blank faces stare back at me & nothin ever changed
 Amaj7A7D
Promises made in the heat of the night creepin home before it got too light
 DmAEA
 I wasted all that precious time and blamed it on the wine
 ADEA
Cho...I was only jo-king  my dear (my dear)
 DEA
      Looking for a way to hide my fear (my fear)
 DEA
      What kind of fo-ol was I (was I)
 E
      I could never win (never win)      ......Riff
 AAmaj7A7D
 Never found a comprimise collected lovers like butterflies
 DmAEA
 Illusions of that grand first prize are slowly wasted
 Amaj7A7D
Suzie baby you were good to me givin' love unselfishly
 DmA
 But you took it all too seriously
 EA
 I guess it had to end
Cho...
Inst...verse,cho,verse,cho..
 Amaj7A7D
Now you ask me if I'm sincere that's the question that I always fear
 DmAEA
 The first seven is never clear but I'll tell you what you wanna hear
 Amaj7A7D
I'll try to give you all you want but givin' love is not my strongest point
 DmAEA
 If that's the case it's pointless goin' on I'd rather be alone
 Amaj7A7D
'Cause what I'm doin must be wrong pourin' my heart out in a song
 DmAEA
 Owning up for prosperity for the whole damn world to see
 Amaj7A7D
Quietly now while I turn a page Act 20's over without costume change
 DmA
The principal would like to leave the stage
 EA
The crowd don't understand
