A     D        A  
Everybody talks sarcastic 
A     D        A  
Everybody's in the know 
A         D        A  
I think I might do something drastic 
              E                      D          A 
If they don't let me go away from it all 

      D              A 
But I can't afford a jet plane 
A        D              A  
And the price of gas is high 
A          D               A  
There's nowhere that I can run to 
        E               D       E 
When I feel so sick and shy  
                              A 
Gonna make a big noise to the sky 

A   E       D       E         A 
Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll 
A   E       D       E         A 
Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll  
A   E       D           E         A 
And if she smiles at me in the snow 
A   E       D       E         A 
Baby, I'm ready to rock, rock and roll 

A     D                A 
And I whispered that I loved her 
A      D             A 
In the ancient photo booth 
A          D                A 
She's just got one of those faces 
      E          D  
That demands the truth 
      E               A 
She likes Ted Hawkins too 

A       D                A 
And the truth is just a mole rat 
A        D              A 
Crawling underneath the earth 
A        D              A       E        D 
It is naked and it's gnawing away at the world 
        E                   A 
And it hurts so bad I could cry 

A         D              A 
But they don't allow no crying 
A        D                    A 
In the cold straight world of men 
A        D           A 
So I build my little fortress 
A          E     D 
'Til I can get even 

A   E       D       E         A 
Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll 
A   E       D       E         A 
Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll 
A  E      D          E     A 
I can see now, she's an angel 
A   E      D         E     A 
Flying in my bedroom window 
A   E         D            E                  A 
I'm ready to rock and roll, ready to rock and roll
