Verse: 

C#m       A             B 
Beautiful girl from the South land 

C#m          A                          B 
I don't quite understand but I know who you are 

C#m                      A              B 
Last night you told me about your sister 


How you loved, and how you missed her 
  
C#m                        A                  B 
I don't know why but you say that you like me 


But sometimes yeah you despise me 



Chorus: 

E 
You tell me you're the lost generation 


So much anger , and so much frustration 

C#m 
Its not your fault, its the situation 

A                        B 
When all you want is to rest your body
