Verse 1:

E                  B
A sixteen hundred, packed with angry young men

     A
Came burning down main street

E                           B
I touched the Epiphone that hung on my hip

            A
It knew the sound of my heartbeat

F#m                       G#m
But turning the corner in a twisted heap

     B
They pulled some bodies from an upturned Ford

E                         B
Some kid looked at me and said, it's only life

              A
Might as well use it while we're young

A
Might as well use it while we're young


Verse 2:

E                                  B
I queued with some friends outside the ABC One

           A
To see the killer with no name

      E                           B
Yeah, De Niro's so great, and you know last week

          A
I saw the universe in flames

         F#m                         G#m
But it's always the same like Citizen Kane

               B
Ya end up with nothing! and you leave for home

E                        B
Talking and kicking coke cans in the street

A                        A
As Fu Manchu looks on

A
As Fu Manchu looks on


Chorus:

G                                 Am
And I thought they must think I'm crazy

    C                   D
The things I'll see for fun

G                        Am
Then in my mind I saw the enemy

      C                  D
And I wasted him with my gun

Verse 3:

E                       B
I thought of my brother working Heathrow

       A
Flying engines in the night

E                             B
Learning every part, he'll be through in years

     A
When I'm signed on for life

F#m                      G#m      B
Lying here, waiting for a hero to rise

N.C.
But a lazy man lies back instead

E                B              A
No one hears the young man when he's alone

E           B        A    A
Planning to kill someone!

A                                  A
Well he's planning to kill someone


Chorus:

G                                 Am
And I thought it must be me who's crazy

    C                   D
The things I'll do for fun

G                         Am
Choosing poison to get to paradise

C             D   A
Paradise West one


G                                 Am
And I thought it must be me who's crazy

    C                   D
The things I'll do for fun

G                         Am
Choosing poison to get to paradise

C             D   A
Paradise West one
