A                      A7                          D 
You're either in misery or high on a crest.

A teenager's romance is like all the rest. 

Chorus: 
A                          D 
They tell us we're different, 
                         A   
We haven't the right, 
                          B 
To decide for ourselves, dear, 
                                        E 
What's black and what's white.

And they'll look upon, 
                     E 
A teenager's romance, 
                             A 
That goes on and on.
