During the verses, the guitarist kind of improvises around this chords:
B C#m
The music started
E (C#m) G#m
I realized it was all a lie
(F#) B C#m B E
The guitars were ringing out last year's punk
B C#m
No I couldn't bear the burden
E (C#m) G#m
So I threw it all away
(F#) B C#m E
I left my home and all my friends behind, yeah
G#m F# E
Oh make me young again
B F#
I found some way to mend this broken heart
G#m F# E
But it don't want me singing about love anymore
B F#
It just wants to sleep out in the park
E F#
But it don't really matter what I say
E F#
You're just going to twist it anyway
E F#
Do you even listen to my words?
E F# B
You just want to memorize the chords
(solo over the intro chords)
B C#m
I'm alone again because
E (C#m) G#m
All I really want's the truth
F# B C#m B E
It's so rare to find that anywhere these days
F# B C#m (B) E
An honest arrow caught my shoulder
E (C#m) G#m
in a sea of New York curves
(F#) B C#m (B) E
I'll try to play the part of celebrity
G#m F# E
And it's a headache to walk that way
B F#
I was dressed up in all the wrong clothes
G#m F# E
Oh do you remember, what you were last year?
B F#
Do you remember your former roles?
E F#
But it don't seem to matter who I am
E F#
No one seems to want to understand that
E F#
I'm my mother's son, I'm a rolling stone
E F# (slow down)
I don't want anything I have to own
F# E F# (repeat forever)
Help me run and hide baby
Help me run and hide
From the rest of the world
Help me run and hide baby
Help me run and hide
I'm terrified baby yeah
