Intro: D MajorD A augmentedA 4x

    D MajorD      A augmentedA
I was a teenage anarchist
 D MajorD         A augmentedA
 Looking for a revolution
      D MajorD        A augmentedA
I had the style, I had the ambition
       D MajorD             A augmentedA
Read all the authors I knew the right slogans
       D MajorD         A augmentedA
There was no war but the class war
        D MajorD        A augmentedA
I was ready to set the world on fire
     D MajorD      A augmentedA
I was a teenage anarchist
 D MajorD         A augmentedA
Looking for a revolution

E MajorE      D MajorD   A augmentedA
Dooooo you remember when you were young
          E MajorE         D MajorD
And you wanted to set the world on fire
E MajorE      D MajorD   A augmentedA
Dooooo you remember when you were young
         E MajorE         D MajorD
And you wanted to set the world on fire


     A augmentedA     D MajorD A augmentedA
I was a teenage anarchist
     D MajorD         A augmentedA
But the politics were too convenient
    A augmentedA        D MajorD  A augmentedA
In the depths of their humanity
    A augmentedA        D MajorD   A augmentedA
All I saw was bloodless ideology
    A augmentedA        D MajorD   A augmentedA
With freedom as their doctrine
     A augmentedA        D MajorD A augmentedA
Guess who was the new authority
     D MajorD      A augmentedA
I was a teenage anarchist
     D MajorD         A augmentedA
But the politics were too convenient

E MajorE      D MajorD   A augmentedA
Dooooo you remember when you were young
          E MajorE         D MajorD
And you wanted to set the world on fire
E MajorE      D MajorD   A augmentedA
Dooooo you remember when you were young
         E MajorE         D MajorD
And you wanted to set the world on fire
        A augmentedA
when you were young
         E MajorE         D MajorD
And you wanted to set the world on fire


    D MajorD      A augmentedA
I was a teenage anarchist
        D MajorD       A augmentedA
But then the scene got too rigid
    A augmentedA     D MajorD
It was mob mentality
   A augmentedA        D MajorD    A augmentedA
They set their rifle sights on me
    A augmentedA      D MajorD  A augmentedA
Narrow visions of autonomy
         A augmentedA      D MajorD  A augmentedA
You want me to surrender my identity
     E MajorE
I was a teenage anarchist
[stop]
The revolution was a lie


E MajorE      D MajorD   A augmentedA
Dooooo you remember when you were young
          E MajorE         D MajorD
And you wanted to set the world on fire
E MajorE      D MajorD   A augmentedA
Dooooo you remember when you were young
         E MajorE         D MajorD
And you wanted to set the world on fire
        A augmentedA
when you were young
         E MajorE         D MajorD
And you wanted to set the world on fire
        A augmentedA
when you were young
         E MajorE         D MajorD
And you wanted to set the world on fire

     A augmentedA       D MajorD
I was a teenage anarchist (4x)
