Intro:
A minorAm         FF
I'm sneaking out tonight
      Ddim7Ddim7            E7E7    A minorAm
Through the warmth of the night air I'll pedal my bike
     FF             C majorC
From the house where my parents are sleepin'
    G+G              E MajorE
To the house of my rich mate whose folks are in Sweden

A minorAm         FF
I'm getting drunk again
   Ddim7Ddim7       E7E7     A minorAm
On a deadly cocktail of booze and Cobain
FF           C majorC
I'll reach Nirvana by one
     DmDm      C/EC/E    FF  F#dimF#dim G+G
'Cause tonight my Teen Spirit is Bundaberg Rum

Chorus:
C majorC      G/C    F/CF/C   C majorC
I've got the fingers of one hand wrapped 'round
  F/CF/C    C majorC     G/C     C majorC
The neck of a bottle of Jim Beam and Cola
  C majorC       G/C    F/CF/C       C majorC
The fingers of the other hand stuffed down the pants of my
DmDm                 C/EC/E
Best friend's ex-girlfriend, or my ex-best friend's girlfriend
   FF        D/F#D/F#      G+G
Or my ex-girlfriend's best friend... Who gives a toss?
    Fmaj7Fmaj7         C/EC/E
'Cause gently molesting your peers
   Eb6Eb6     Dm7Dm7    Dbmaj7Dbmaj7
It's all part and parcel of your teenage...
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7
years         Your teenage...
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbmaj
years.

 F#F#     Gmaj7Gmaj7     F#F#      Gmaj7Gmaj7
Tonight my assignment's to steal a stop sign
     F#F#    Gmaj7Gmaj7      F#F#     Gmaj7Gmaj7
It's not really a crime, I'm just freeing the streets
 F#F#      Gmaj7Gmaj7    F#F#     Gmaj7Gmaj7
Tonight I will gaze at the stars, be amazed at how far

Far, far away they all are, gee I'm deep

Chorus:

I've got the fingers of one hand wrapped round
  F/CF/C     C majorC       G/C      C majorC
The handle of a coffee mug of warm Southern Comfort
  C majorC       G/C    F/CF/C         C majorC
The fingers of the other hand struggling with the bra strap of a
DmDm               C/EC/E
Young girl called Sharlene, who said she was 16
  FF        D/F#D/F#     G+G
She looks more like 12, but then who gives a toss?
    Fmaj7Fmaj7        C/EC/E
'Cause undoing training brassieres
  Eb6Eb6    Dm7Dm7     Dbmaj7Dbmaj7
Is one of the pleasure of your teenage...
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7

I try my best to be funky but firm
F#F#     Gmaj7Gmaj7    F#F#      Gmaj7Gmaj7
I tell him "not for me, I've just ate KFC,
 F#F#    Gmaj7Gmaj7    F#F#    Gmaj7Gmaj7
I never mix Chicken with hallucinogens"

Chorus:
C majorC      G/C    F/CF/C   C majorC
I've got the fingers of one hand stroking the
F/CF/C    C majorC      G/C    C majorC
Hair of a girl with a faulty gag reflex
  C majorC       G/C    F/CF/C         C majorC
The fingers of the other hand struggling with the wrapper
   DmDm          C/EC/E
Of a strawberry flavoured novelty condom
FF    D/F#D/F#    G+G
I never realized vaginas could taste
  Fmaj7Fmaj7          C/EC/E
But learning to use all the gear
  Eb6Eb6    Dm7Dm7    Dbmaj7Dbmaj7
Is one of the missons of your teenage...
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7
years         Your teenage...
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbmaj
years.

Verse 3:
F#F#      Gmaj7Gmaj7      F#F#        Gmaj7Gmaj7
Looking out across the Swan, glistening in the rising sun
F#F#       Gmaj7Gmaj7     F#F#      Gmaj7Gmaj7
I have got the whole goddamn world at my feet
    F#F#      Gmaj7Gmaj7    F#F#       Gmaj7Gmaj7
In the beauty of the day-break I can't help but contemplate
  F#F#      Gmaj7Gmaj7     F#F#      Gmaj7Gmaj7
The nature of my maths project due in next week

Chorus:
C majorC      G/C    F/CF/C   C majorC
I've got the fingers of one hand pressed to
  F/CF/C     C majorC      G/C  C majorC
The pulse of the heartbeat of my generation
    C majorC       G/C    F/CF/C        C majorC
And the fingers of the other hand wrapped 'round the shaft of the
DmDm          C/EC/E
Pulsating knob of my teenage pretension
   FF       D/F#D/F#   G+G
If I don't write a poem, I'm going to explode
  Fmaj7Fmaj7     C/EC/E
But masturbatory ideas
  Eb6Eb6    Dm7Dm7     Dbmaj7Dbmaj7
Are hard to repress during your teenage...
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7
years         Your teenage...
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 G/BG/B
years.

Outro:
A minorAm         Fmaj7Fmaj7
I'm sneaking home again
Ddim7Ddim7              E7E7      A minorAm
Pedalling through the mist of a light morning rain
    FF            C majorC
Like a bird flying back to it's cage
  Bdim7Bdim7           E7E7
I'm trapped in what seems an eternal teenage

 A minorAm           Fmaj7Fmaj7
I ride towards the rising sun
  Ddim7Ddim7         E7E7    A minorAm
As free as the lyrics of Jim Morrison
    FF          C majorC
I'll be back in bed by six o'clock
      DmDm    C/EC/E     FF      G+G
There'll be plenty of time to dash one off the wrist
    DmDm      Bdim7Bdim7 G7G7
Before Dad comes to wake  me
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7
up
