You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather
E D E D
But I'm a substitue for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
E D E D A
I look pretty young but I'm just back-dated yeah
D A G D
It's a substitute lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mad
I look all white but my dad was black
D A G D
My fine looking suit is really made of sack
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
Northside of my town faces east and northside faces south
And now you dare look me in the eye
But crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem you won't try to work it all out
Just pass it by pass it by
Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done
[ D G D ] x2
But I'm a substitue for another guy...
[ D A G D ] x2
I was born with a plastic spoon..
Substitute me for him...
It's a substitute lies for fact...
[ F C ]
F
You don't know what's going on
C
You've been away for far too long
Bb F
You can't come back and think you are still mine
F Bb
You're out of touch, my baby
C F
My poor discarded baby
Bb C F
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
F C
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
D Bb
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
F
Yes, you are left out
Bb
Out of there without a doubt
F C F
'cause, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back and be the first in line
You're obsolete my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby...
Well, baby, baby...

[ F# A B C# ]
F# A
There's a new sun
B D
Risin' up angry in the sky
F# A
And there's a new voice
B C#
Saying 'we're not afraid to die'
F# E
Let the old world make believe
F# B
It's blind and deaf and dumb
F# E Eb D F#
But nothing can change the shape of things to come
C#
There are changes
Lyin' ahead in every road
And there are new thoughts
Ready and waiting to explode
When tomorrow is today
The bells may toll for some
But nothing can change the shape of things to come
E
The future's comin' in, now
A
Sweet and strong
B C#
Ain't no-one gonna hold it back for long
There are new dreams
Crowdin' out old realities
There's revolution
Sweepin' in like a fresh new breeze
Let the old world make believe
It's blind and deaf and dumb
F# E Eb D
But nothing can change the shape of things
Nothing can change the shape of things
Nothing can change the shape of things
Nothing can change the shape of things
F#
To come
A D A
When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies
C G A D
Don't you want somebody to love, don't you
Need somebody to love, wouldn't you
Love somebody to love, you better
G D A
Find somebody to love
[ G A ] x2
When the garden flowers baby are dead, yes and
Your mind, your mind is so full of bread
Don't you want...
Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
Yeah, but in your head, baby, I'm afraid you don't know where it is
Don't you want...
[ G A ] x2
Tears are running down and down and down your breast
And your friends, baby they treat you like a guest
Don't you want...

The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
E
When I was young
(D) E
When I was young
E D
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls I had a that yen
And I had quite a ball
E
When I was young
(D) (E)
G E
When I was young it was more important
D
Pain more painful and laughter much louder, yeah
E
When I was young
(D) (E)
When I was young
E D
I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown, and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot

When I was young

When I was young it was more important

Pain more painful and laughter much louder, yeah

(F) G
When i was young
G F
My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow men
And I was so much older then

When I was young
When I was young

A E G D A D A D
When I was a boy I thought about the times I'd be a man
I'd sit inside a bottle and pretend that I was in a can
A C G D A D A D
In my lonely room I'd sit my mind in an ice cream cone
A C G
You can throw me if you wanna 'cause I'm a bone and I go
A A
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!
[ A C G D F C E ]
[ A D ] x2
If I don't start cryin' it's because that I have got no eyes
My father's in the fireplace and my dog lies hypnotized
Through a crack of light I was unable to find my way
Trapped inside a night but I'm a day and I go
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!
[ A C G D F C E ]

E C# G# A B E
Crimson flames tied through my ears, rollin' high and mighty traps
E C# G# A B
Pounced with fire on flaming roads, using ideas as my maps
C# G# A B
We'll meet on edges, soon said I, proud 'neath heated brow
E A E
Ah but I was so much older then
A B E
I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth, rip down all hate I scream
Lies that life is black and white, spoke from my skull I dreamed
Romantic flanks of musketeers, foundation deep somehow
Ah but I was so much older...
In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy in the instant that I preach
My pathway led to confusion boats, mutiny from stern to bow
Ah but I was so much older...
[ E C# G# A B E ]
[ E C# G# A B ]
[ C# G# A B ]
Ah but I was so much older...
Yes my guards stood hard when abstract threats too nobel to neglect
Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah but I was so much older...
Ah but I was so much older...
Ah but I was so much older...
[ C# G# Bb ] x2
C# G# Bb
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
You fly around like a bee
Hurtin' everything you see
I try everything I know
To make you wanna love me so
The only things you do
Is try to put the hurt on me
F# C#
Can't you see what you're doin' to me
You fill my heart with misery
F# C# F#
In every breath and step I take
D#
I'm more in love with you
Can't go on like this
A little bit of love and not one kiss
I've gotta have your love every day
Love that's real and will stay
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
[ C# G# Bb G# Bb ] x4
Can't you see...
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
Come back baby to me
And my misery
I give you love night and day
Never ever go away
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine

Someone told me long ago, there's a calm before the storm
E
I know and its been coming for some time
A
When its over so they say it'll rain a sunny day
E A
I know, shinin' down like water
D E A Ab F# E
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
D E A
Comin' down on a sunny day
Yesterday and days before, sun is cold and rain is hot
I know, been that way for all my time
'til forever on it goes through the circle fast and slow
I know, and I can't stop, I wonder
I want to know...
[ D E A Ab F# E ] x2
[ D E A ]
Someone told me long ago...
I want to know...
[ G G A G A C B A G ] x2
G [ G G A G A C B A G ]
I can't stand still cause you've got me goin'
Your slacks are low and your hips are showin'
C D
I take you girl as you're standing there
Your low cut slacks and your long black hair
Don't want you goin' round with no one else
C A
'cause when I'm with you I can't control myself
Defense is down and you've got me shakin'
You've got me so that my nerves are breakin'
If you got me, I like you girl
Your knees would bend and your hair will curl
You make me move, yeah, like no one else
'cause when I'm with you I can't control myself
[ A G A ] x4
A G A A G A A G A A G A
I've got this feeling that's inside of me
It makes me think of how things used to be
E A
It makes me fell allright
E A G A A G A
When I'm with you at night and we love
[ G G A G A C B A G ] x2
You hold me so with this quick temptation
This kind of feeling could move a nation
And I'm okay when I'm here with you
I do the things that you want me to
But do these things for no one else
'cause when I'm with you I can't control myself
[ G G A G A C B A G ]
G G A G A C B A G
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
G
I can't control myself baby

G E

C A
Well, it ain't got a back set or a rear window

But it still gets me where I wanna go
G
And we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
C
You know we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
G
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
[ Ab G A D ]
You know they never roll the streets up 'cause there's always somethin' goin
Surf City, here we come
You know they're either out surfin' or they got a party growin'
Surf City, here we come
Yeah, and there's two swingin' honeys for every guy
And all you gotta do is just wink your eye
And we're goin' to Surf City...
[ Ab G A D ]
And if my woody breaks down on me somewhere on the surf route
Surf City, here we come
I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wetsuit
Surf City, here we come
And when I get to Surf City I'll be shootin' the curl
And checkin' out the parties for a surfer girl
And we're goin' to Surf City...
