Intro: Em G A (4x) 

verse 1: 
          Em                         G 
Well, the kid checked his stance and tightened his pants 
    A                          C       Em 
And took his first step in the night 
                     G 
Jacko said that he'd fix him up 
       A                         C 
With a girl who would be alright 

        Am         D                    Em       Am 
Saying, woah oh oh oh, and I'm bustin' loose 
        D                    Em 
Woah oh oh, and he's bustin' loose 

verse 2: 
                              G 
Well, he picked him up in his Sandman 
           A                   C     Em 
They raced every red light in town 
               G 
Jacko put on a real cool face 
           A                             C 
But he was sweatin', there were no cops around 


        Am         D                    Em       Am 
Saying, woah oh oh oh, and I'm bustin' loose 
        D                    Em 
Woah oh oh, and he's bustin' loose 


verse 3: 
            C               D 
Well, every guy is a clumsy poet 
          G                C 
And every girl is a beauty queen 
                                   D 
And you laugh on the day when they hear someone say 
                 G                     C 
That they're not really as old as they seem 


verse 4: 
           Em                     G 
He's got a matchbox of pot hidden in a secret spot 
                A                      C 
Which they will smoke in the old schoolyard 
           Em                        G 
Well, he's never too sure if he gets stoned or not 
      A                               C 
But tonight he's gonna try awful hard 

        Am         D                    Em       Am 
Saying, woah oh oh oh, and I'm bustin' loose 
     D                      Em 
Oooh woah, and he's bustin' loose 

VERSE 5: 
                                    G 
Well, he's fifteen or sixteen, he's trying to make the mean team 
     A                           C 
And Jacko is his man all the way 
             Em                               G 
He'll go for broke when he can, he knows that Jacko's his man 
         A                           C 
And they both pray that they'll get away 


        Am         D                    Em       Am 
Saying, woah oh oh oh, and I'm bustin' loose 
        D                   Em 
Woah oh oh, and I'm bustin' loose 


VERSE 6: 
            C               D 
Well, every guy is a clumsy poet 
          G                C 
And every girl is a beauty queen 
                                                D                     G 
But now they're fogging up the windows of their friends' parked cars 
                            C 
On the way to their land of dreams 

You know what I mean
