Capo on 1st 


C 

  C 
I know, nothing ever really started with a kiss 
        Am                           F                C 
Another night, another town, another licensed premises 
            C                                                        Am 
I'm getting bored of all the songs I write and the people I become 
                F                 C 
Just to stay up late with someone 

Am              F                          C 
I don't want to make love, I don't want to make plans 
C                                      Am 
I don't want anyone to want to hold my hand 
                F                          C 
I don't want to make love, I don't want to make plans 

C 
It begins in the places that we leave behind 
      Am              F                         C 
Every year goes by, a little less future on our minds 
            C 
These girls like to pretend they can't feel anything anymore 
Am              F 
Boys great life promises 
    C      G           Am 
But only behind closed doors 

                F                          C 
I don't want to make love, I don't want to make plans 
C                                      Am 
I don't want anyone to want to hold my hand 
                F                          C 
I don't want to make love, I don't want to make plans (all the sad young men) 

Am                  F                            C 
We're all beautiful now like they were beautiful then (all the sad young men) 
Am                F                        C 
All the miserable girls, all the sad young men 

Am                F                       C 
Do you like my clothes, my hair, my conversation 
                       C                        Am 
Did you hear me when I said you were the inspiration 
                    F                         C 
It's so meaningless now as it was meaningless then 
                  C                        Am 
All the miserable girls, all the sad young men 

                F                          C 
I don't want to make love, I don't want to make plans 
C                                      Am 
I don't want anyone to want to hold my hand 
                F                          C 
I don't want to make love, I don't want to make plans (all the sad young men) 

Am                  F                            C 
We're all beautiful now like they were beautiful then (all the sad young men) 
Am                F                        C 
All the miserable girls, all the sad young men, all the sad young men, all the sad young men, 


All the sad young men, all the sad young men 
Am                F                        C 
All the miserable girls, all the sad young men 


I have also submitted a tab of the song, which has all the actual guitar parts (The song  
is beautifully arranged, with some great guitar lines). 

I should also add that these chords and lyrics are probably not 100%, as I did them by  
ear. Feel free to leave corrections. 

Thanks
