Verse: 
 
E5- (play this power chord all through the verse) 
 
All the lonely nights I spend alone, Never around to love me 
You're always gone Cause you're hangin out, Breakin' the rules 
Oh the man has come Looking for you You're a rebel now Don't give a *** 
Always carrying on With the gang I'm trying to tell you boy 
It's a mistake I'm trying to tell you boy Before it's too late 
 
Bridge: 
 
B5                                         A5 
 
Don't understand Why you insist On ways of living such a dangerous life 
 
B5                                       A5 
 
Time after time you stay away And I just know that you're telling me 
 
 
lies.
