intro
The bands I like, they don't sell too many records
And the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
But come on fellas at least we made our choice, hey!
A,E,D
What do we want? E
[D]And when do we want it?
[A]And how would we [E]feel if we knew that we wer[D]e never gunna get it?
[A]And where did[E] we start from?
[D]And where are we going?
[A]Can anyone here [E]say with any certainty that th[D]ey know what they're doing?
[E]Ever feel like an awkward understudy thrown into[D] a cast where you just don't get along
[E]Crowd and the crew all standing silent staring[D] and you can't shake the feeling that
somehow you're doing it wrong
A,E,D
What do we want?
A,E D
Mum and dad always seem like that had a plan
[A]Everything fell a[E]part when mum moved on, now d[D]ad's a broken man
[A]And all[E] these decisions that[D] keep getting made
[A]I can't remembe[E]r making them and nobod[D]y wants to explain
[E]We're all awkward understudies wearing comfortable sho[D]es getting comfortable with doing it wrong
[E]Missed the dress rehearsals and we had to rush a drink bef[D]ore the show but now it's show
time and we're singing our song!
[A]Because the bands I like, they don't sell too many records
[E]And the girls I like, they [D]don't kiss too many boys
[A]Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
[E]But come on fellas at le[D]ast we made our choice
[A]The bands I like, they don't sell too many records
[E]And the girls I like, they don't ki[D]ss too many boys
[A]Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
[E]But come on fellas at least we [D]made our choice
[E]Be a fan of every band who ever made y[A]ou want to move your feet
[E]Fall along with every p[A]erson who ever made [D]your heart want to s[B]kip a beat
[C7]So come on, come on, come on!
[D7]What do we want?
We shall not overcome!
A,E,D
We shall not go well!
A,E,D
Hey, hey!
A,E
Because the lives we lead, they will be so very perfect
[D]And the plans we make made us serve some kind of purpose
A,E
But the hearts we meet still beat the way they used to
[D]If you're doing it wrong, well yeah what you gunna do?
A,E,D
What do we want?
