Am                        C          G   
would you go along with someone like me 
Am                            Em 
if you knew my story word for word 
G                   Bm

would you go along with someone like me

who you were hanging with

(Chorus) 
                             C 
and we don't care about the young folks 
                  G  
talkin' 'bout the young style 
                            C 
and we don't care about the old folks 
                            G 
talkin' 'bout the old style too 
                            C 
and we don't care about our own folks 
                   G 
talkin' 'bout our own style 
                     C 
all we care about is talking 
                    G 
talking only me and you 


the same chords all over the rest of the song 


lyrics: 

usually when things has gone this far 
people tend to disappear 
no one would surprise me unless you do 

i can tell there's something goin' on 
hours seem to disappear 
everyone is leaving i'm still with you 

it doesn't matter what we do 
where we are going to 
we can stick around and see this night through 

and we don't care about the young folks 
talkin' 'bout the young style 
and we don't care about the old folks 
talkin' 'bout the old style too 
and we don't care about our own folks 
talkin' 'bout our own style 
all we care about is talking 
talking only me and you 

and we don't care about the young folks 
talkin' 'bout the young style 
and we don't care about the old folks 
talkin' 'bout the old style too 
and we don't care about our own folks 
talkin' 'bout our own style 
all we care about is talking 
talking only me and you 
talking only me and you 

talking only me and you 
talking only me and you
