A Once it was just innocence Brash ideas and insolence G/A D/A But you will never get away A With the things you say today
G/A D/A A G/A D/A But you cry if you want
A A A/G A A A/G A A A/G A A D Don't you get embarrassed when you read the precious things you said A A A/G A A/G A A/G A D Many many years ago when life appeared rosy red A A A A/G A A D No one ever shared your bed A A A/G A A D Nothing ever filled your head A A A A/G A D Except yourself and little Ted A A A/G A D And scary dreams that you were dead D Don't you want to hide your face Dsus4/C When going through your teenage looks D Read the kind of crap you wrote Dsus4/C About ban the bomb and city crooks D Think about how long it took Dsus4/C To get over that sudden yuk D When in the mirror you would look Dsus4/C Well now my son you're well in stook
A G/A Cry if you want D Cry if you want A G/A Cry if you want D Cry if you want
Didn't you writhe in anger when you saw the man in his big car Didn't you drive a banger and a gallon didn't get you far Should have been a famous star But that ain't what you really are You could shout your last hurrah While they are propping up the bar
Maybe things were better then Before you led a promised life Rash commitments heavy raps And left-wing spiel all compromised You fall in love with other's wives Drive 'em nuts with empty lies Angry 'cause you lost the prize Forgot the color of their eyes
[repeat chorus]

A7 A7sus4 Let your tears flow A7 A7sus4 Let your past go
Don't you get embarrassed when you think about the way you were Yesterday the day before when you were young with much to learn Aren't you glad it's your last term No more acting lowly worm You can make the suckers squirm When you tell 'em how much you earn
Don't you feel ashamed at all the bitterness you feel inside Does your ego save your face I had a go, I really tried Now you know your leaders lied Does it stop you acting snide or are you still a boy that cried Tears now surely long since dried
[repeat chorus]
