G minorGm C7C7
When I was just seventeen, I ran away from home
G minorGm C7C7
To be with all the pretty people, to be on my own

Bright lights and trains and bedsit stains, pavements paved with gold
G minorGm C7C7
And I believed in everything that everybody told me

Verse:
G minorGm C7C7
I found myself in a lonely place, with a suitcase full of dreams
G minorGm C7C7
And I soon grew up to realise, what living in the doghouse means

But everyday I told myself, good things would happen soon
G minorGm C7C7
’cause I knew that I was going to be a 🏷Legend in my living room

Now every day on a dead-end street, is where I spend my time

The dust has been collecting on, the corners of my mind

To take the spiky fruit, to crown myself the King of Doom
