---> Play Riff 1 over:
  All through the scandal of a small town scene
  I always handled, you like to think my spirit is mean
---> Play Riff 2 over:
  I thought you knew, thought you knew it was gonna be this way
---> Play Riff 1 (x1)
---> Play Riff 2 over:
  I guess I thought that, cause I told you nearly everyday

  Well I'm sick of the chicks and sick of the bars
  I'm sick of this scene (?)  (?)
  It's sad, yeah, it's getting me mad
  I'm tired of you, pulling on me
  It makes you look foolish and why can't you see
  That it's weak, just stand on your feet
---> Play Chorus 2 over:
  Get your arms off my shoulders and get a little older, yeah
---> Play Chorus 1 (x1)

  But I, promise you, I promise you,

  Make peace with me cause I'm sure that you'll see that it's

  (Oh!)
---> Play Chorus 1 over:
  Well, you know the type who always will try
  To clip your wings and make you not fly
  It's lame, it's always the same
  It's (a) human instinct, to criticize
  It takes mental dexterity to keep open eyes
  It's true, it happened to you
---> Play Chorus 2 over:
  It's sad to be talkin' while others take a walk into the
---> Play Chorus 1 over:
