Verse 1

A
Back when I was younger they were talkin' at me
E
Never listened to a word I said
A
Back when I was younger they were talkin' at me
E
Never listened to a word I said
A
Always yap yap yappin' and complainin' at me
E
Made me think I'd be better off dead
D A E A
I don't wanna talk about it
D A E A
I don't wanna hear no lip
D A E A
Take your share don't shout about it
G D E
That's your lot remember you're a kid


Verse 2
-------
E
They would always teach me that to swear was a sin
A
Always speak your mind but not aloud
E
Think of something that you wanna do with your life
A
Nothin' that you like that's not allowed
D A E A
I've no time to talk about it
D A E A
All your stupid hopes and dreams
D A E A
Get your feet back on the ground son
G D E
It's exams that count not football teams

Chorus
------
D E A
And I'm runnin' at the edge of their world
D E A
They're criticisin' somethin' they just can't understand
D E A
Livin' on the edge of their town
D E A
And I won't be shot down

Verse 3
-------
A
Taught me to defend myself and to be a man
E
How to kick someone and run away
A
Gave me everythin' that any young man could need
E
But don't understand why I won't stay
D A E A
Here's your room and here's your records
D A E A
Here's your home and here you'll stay
D A E A
Here's somewhere I don't believe in
G D E
Wish someone would take it all away
