Intro: C C C Em F G 

         C                     Em                  Am               
Got my head uptight and I'm spinning in a teenage rocket 
         F                          F Bb            G 
Where pleasures hang like souvenirs     across the sky 
   C             Em               Am 
Looking to the ground nothing can top me 
             F                            F Bb 
Ooh we're rebels here, we'll have to go(?) 
                    G 
The only things I find 

         Ab 
Are the best of lies 
     Eb 
The worst of thieves 
    F           G 
Somewhere in between 

But I  
 C 
Didn't wanna know 
 Em 
Didn't wanna know 
 F     
They're moving in with a chilly grin 
     G 
To keep me in the same old uh-oh-oh 
 C 
Didn't wanna know 
 Em 
Didn't wanna know 
 F 
They try to hide everything I prize 
    G 
To keep me in the same old 

 C                         Em               Am 
Now a thousand eyes are spinning in their sockets 
           F                     F Bb 
Turn a misadventure into my view 
                    G 
And I like what I find 
        C                 Em                         Am 
But everyone's standing around with hands in their pockets 
         F                       F Bb 
No more bad(?) music in the news 
                        G 
They only want what's mine 

     Ab 
The best of lies 
     Eb 
The worst of thieves 
    F           G 
Somewhere in between 

But I  
 C 
Didn't wanna know 
 Em 
Didn't wanna know 
 F     
They're moving in with a chilly grin 
     G 
To keep me in the same old uh-oh-oh

    G                                Ab 
To keep me in the same old uh-oh-oh 

                                    Ab 
Where do you look when it all goes dark 

Get the feeling that you can't 
 F 
See it all 
                   Ab 
Everything all at once 
                              Ab 
This is the calm before the storm 

This is the song of singing 
   F 
Through it all 
   G         C 
Through it always 

C Em Am  
F F Bb G
