[Verse 1]
E                  BA sixteen hundred, packed with angry young men
     ACame burning down main street
E                           BI touched the Epiphone that hung on my hip
            AIt knew the sound of my heartbeat
F#m                       G#mBut turning the corner in a twisted heap
     BThey pulled some bodies from an upturned Ford
E                         BSome kid looked at me and said, it's only life
              AMight as well use it while we're young
AMight as well use it while we're young


[Verse 2]
E                                  BI queued with some friends outside the ABC One
           ATo see the killer with no name
      E                           BYeah, De Niro's so great, and you know last week
          AI saw the universe in flames
         F#m                         G#mBut it's always the same like Citizen Kane
               BYa end up with nothing! and you leave for home
E                        BTalking and kicking coke cans in the street
A                        AAs Fu Manchu looks on
AAs Fu Manchu looks on


[Chorus]
G                                 AmAnd I thought they must think I'm crazy
    C                   DThe things I'll see for fun
G                        AmThen in my mind I saw the enemy
      C                  DAnd I wasted him with my gun

[Verse 3]
E                       BI thought of my brother working Heathrow
       AFlying engines in the night
E                             BLearning every part, he'll be through in years
     AWhen I'm signed on for life
F#m                      G#m      BLying here, waiting for a hero to rise
N.C.But a lazy man lies back instead
E                B              ANo one hears the young man when he's alone
E           B        A    APlanning to kill someone!
A                                  AWell he's planning to kill someone


[Chorus]
G                                 AmAnd I thought it must be me who's crazy
    C                   DThe things I'll do for fun
G                         AmChoosing poison to get to paradise
C             D   AParadise West one

G                                 AmAnd I thought it must be me who's crazy
    C                   DThe things I'll do for fun
G                         AmChoosing poison to get to paradise
C             D   AParadise West one
