If you see this and appreciate it, please drop me a line and
let me know. I`d hate for it to fall on deaf ears.

Paul Weller chord progressions are usually quite odd and difficult
to figure out -- he doesn`t seem to follow any rules, yet somehow
manages to pull it off. This song is no exception.

A Fm
Life is time you spend alone when you`re young
A Fm
Used to fall in love with everyone
A Fm
Any guitar and any bass drum
D G
Life is a drink, and you get drunk
E
When you`re young
[As above]
Life is new and there`s things to be done
You can`t wait to be grown up
Acceptance into the capital world
You pull out some weed and their bullets are warm
When you`re young

But you find out life isn`t like that
[As above]
It`s so hard to comprehend
But you set up your dreams
To have them smashed in the end
D
But you don`t mind

You got time on your side

And they`re never gonna

make you stand in line
D E A Fm A Fm
You`re just waiting for the right time
You`re feeling so great you can`t be stopped when you`re young
You swear you`re never ever gonna work for someone
No corporations for the new age sons
Tears of rage roll down your face
But still you says it`s fun
But you find out life isn`t like that
You try hard to understand
Well the world is your oyster
but your future`s a clam
It`s got you in its grip
Before you`re born
You`re stoned with a user that I can`t afford[*]
They`ll let you be a king
But you`re really a pawn

A Fm (repeat ad lib to fade)
Country -- the lights are going out
In millions of homes and thousands of flats
Goin` out, goin` out, goin` out, goin` out
Goin` out, goin` out, goin` out, goin` out
