Intro:

E C#m A B

Verse 1:
    E
If everything has two sides
    C#m
I guess there is a downside
     A                                E  B
To only seeing the bright side of life

       E
Cause if you are not grounded
     C#m
Or your head's in the clouds and
      A                                      E
You lose sight of what’s real and what's right

Pre-Chorus:

        B               C#m         A
So we need some kind of equalizing force
     B               C#m           A           B
To take us down when we get on our high horse

Chorus:
           E         G#m
So we have teenagers
C#m      A
Teenagers
          E
They'll expose you as a fool
      B                   A B
Like it’s their mission to

E      G#m
Teenagers
C#m      A
Teenagers
           E
I know it feels personal
B       A            E
That's because it is

Verse 2:

B
     E
But who else could protect us
      C#m7
From having fun in public
      A                                     E  B
From wearing things that might be out of style

     E
And who else could remind us
     C#m7
Our best years are behind us
       A
Not getting any younger
           E
We're dying

Pre-Chorus:

      B                  C#m                    A
When they're not eating, they're just trying to help
     B                  C#m              A             B
Some-times it's hard to beat yourself up by yourself

Chorus:

           E         G#m
So we have teenagers
C#m     A
Teenagers
        E
When we want them gone, they're here
        B
When we don't, they disappear

A B   E       G#m
(Oh) Teenagers
C#m    A
Teenagers
          E                           B
You might think they’re being selfish
A          E
Well, some-times they are

Bridge:

   C#m                            B
Of course the ones I have are the exceptions to the rule
        E                             A
They’re perfect little angels all the time (they are asleep)
  C#m                             B
I guess that as their father, the best that I can do
            E                              A                  B
Is help my babies become good adults, not perfect in between


Verse 3:

     E
They say these years will fly by
   C#m
So we should savor this time
A                                  E  B
There's so much to savor these days

    E
Be-fore you know it, they’re gone
     C#m
With little kids of their own
A                                    E
Grateful for the way they were raised

Pre-Chorus:
       B                C#m              A
So, if we can keep from killing them til then
B               C#m            A
Maybe one day we will all have sweet revenge

Chorus:

B              E        G#m
When they have teenagers
C#m    A
Teenagers
              E
You know they say what goes around
      B                      A
Comes back to your kids when they have their own
E        G#m
Teenagers
C#m Em A
