[B] That's the road It's over there and leading down to
[Ebm] nowhere
[B] This is the age when you're allowed to have your
[Ebm] own care
[Dbm] If you were half so bright you'd
[Abm] plan your life a-

[Ab] old in your
[Dbm] bed

[B] I'm so used to waiting that's entirely your de-
[Ebm]-cision
[B] Don't be restricted by the weightless views you're
[Ebm] given
[Dbm] If you were half so bright you'd
[Abm] fight from the
[B] head
[Dbm] Instead of saving 'til your
[Ab] young heart is
[Dbm] dead
[B]

[Gb] are
