Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
Em       Bm               G      C    Em
   On the   hottest night of the year
       Bm                G           C
Lying      in a patch of rho-, rhododendrons
  Em
A bottle of whisky under my arm
Bm
Trying to count a sky full of stars
  G
I dream of order, I dream of fleets
     C
Of Napoleon in aquamarine
         Em
He said "Linus, put that blanket down
       Bm
You've slammed your door too many times"
         G
He said "Linus, put that blanket down
    C
The world won't wait"

    Em              Bm            G                C       Em
When I was your age,     I was comman-, commanding fleets
       Bm                      G            C
When I     was your age, I was soaked in victory
            Em
And now you can't keep a job and you can't keep a wife
       Bm
What a horrible mess you're gonna make of your life
        G
Watched way too many American films
      C
To be John Wayne, Brando or James Dean

Waiting so long for your wrists to get thick

Waiting so long for the next great party

So many questions, so little to say

You don't need these weights

             D                              Em
Want to be remembered for what you could create
                    D                     Bm
So you want to be a cowboy, ride into the distance
              D                      Em
Never have to listen or answer to anyone
                    C                        G
So you want to be a boxer, surviving on your instincts
                D                               Em
Relying on your fists and the quickness of your wit
                          Am                      G
Are you bigger than these buildings and the grey around you?
                  D                     Em
Is your pain more worthy than everybody else

Drunk again in the rhododendrons
