[Verse 1]

Em       Bm               G      C    Em

   On the   hottest night of the year

       Bm                G           C

Lying      in a patch of rho-, rhododendrons

  Em

A bottle of whisky under my arm

Bm

Trying to count a sky full of stars

  G

I dream of order, I dream of fleets

     C

Of Napoleon in aquamarine

         Em

He said "Linus, put that blanket down

       Bm

You've slammed your door too many times"

         G

He said "Linus, put that blanket down

    C

The world won't wait"

    Em              Bm            G                C       Em

When I was your age,     I was comman-, commanding fleets

       Bm                      G            C

When I     was your age, I was soaked in victory

            Em

And now you can't keep a job and you can't keep a wife

       Bm

What a horrible mess you're gonna make of your life

        G

Watched way too many American films

      C

To be John Wayne, Brando or James Dean

Em

Waiting so long for your wrists to get thick

Bm

Waiting so long for the next great party

G

So many questions, so little to say

You don't need these weights

Boy, what you gonna do with your life

C                   Bm

Boy, what you gonna do with your life

Boy, what you gonna do with your life

 

 

[Bridge]

                     C                    Bm

So you want to be an artist, want to be a singer

             D                              Em

Want to be remembered for what you could create

                    D                     Bm

So you want to be a cowboy, ride into the distance

              D                      Em

Never have to listen or answer to anyone

                    C                        G

So you want to be a boxer, surviving on your instincts

                D                               Em

Relying on your fists and the quickness of your wit

                          Am                      G

Are you bigger than these buildings and the grey around you?

                  D                     Em

Is your pain more worthy than everybody else
