Don't lose it
            D5**
He wants to use it
          G5**                 G5**
But don't change a single thing
                D5**       D5**
He wants to put it down on paper
    G5**                    D5**
And put it in a song to sing

Bridge:

    C
Ah, how your father went away
Dm
How your mother got her way
Em                        F
How your brothers never let you join in
C
 Didn't do too well at school
Dm
Feel a failure but you'll
Em               F
Be famous if you let him touch you

Don't lose it babe

Don't go too straight

No, no, no

Don't lose it babe
      C
Don't throw it away

It means more than a song

D5**     G5**
    (Mmm)
D5**        C5**
    They're pinheads
         D5**
Have you met them?
            G5**              D5**
But they've got nothing to say
            C5**                  G5**
Oh, he just stands there - in the corner
    C5**                  G5**
And never dares join your game

To find out what it's all about

'cos he can see that you've got something
C                             Dm
 But don't let him take you in
                         Em
He's only after just one thing

It means more than a sooong

So, don't lose iiit
C*

Verse 3:

D5**    C5**    D5**    C5**       D5**
                  These things are worthless
    C5**              D5**
You see them in a magazine
     C5**               D5**
T-t-trainers, slip-slip-dresses
C5**                   D5**
  But you know what it means - oh!

Bridge:

C             Dm                         Em
  They want a piece of something they've never felt
               F
Something they can't have and then you go
C                           Dm
And in the end they want to suck you dry
                   Em
'Cos they know you turned out well
              F
And you don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna

It means more than a sooong
