All The Rage
from Brutal Youth
tabbed by "Eddie Thornley" 


I don't pretend that this is as good as chords have been typed in before
but it should give you a start. I picked this song first because it's
one of the easiest.

(G)The twitching (D)impulse is to (G)speak your mind.(D)(C)

(C)where you keep my (G/B)picture (D)still, des(G)pite the fact that
(D)you had me

...Well I heard they castrated Castro
Because he was the people's friend...

The twiching impulse is to speak your mind
G                            D                      G                 Am7  G/B
I?ll lend you my microscope and maybe you will find it
C                 G     D               G                       D      G
Is it in that ugly place that?s just behind your face
C                                 G/B    D       G                          D                       G
Where you keep my picture still despite the fact that you had me replaced

                 Em  D  G      Em          D            G
Say "Good-bye", baby, can?t you act your age
               Em  D  G                Em    D           C
You know why, I?m going to give it to you straight
                     Am       Em                       D              C
Altgough I?ll never be unhappy as you want me to be
Am                   G                      Em  G  Em
Still it?s all the rage

F                   C             D/C                 G/B  G7
I?ll propably play along, left to my own devices
C                     D/C                  G/B       C  G
Spare me the drone of your advice
Am               Bm                       C                   D
The sins of garter and gin, confessions may delay
Am                         Bm                     C                     D
You know the measuring pole, the merry boots of clay?
Am             Bm          C                      D
I?ve heard it all before, you?ll say it anyway

G                Em  D  G      Em          D            G
Say "Good-bye", baby, can?t you act your age
               Em  D  G                Em    D           C
You know why, I?m going to give it to you straight
                     Am       Em                       D              C
Altgough I?ll never be unhappy as you want me to be
Am                   G                      Em  G  Em
Still it?s all the rage

G                           D                               G             D  C
Alone with your tweezers and your handkerchief
G                   D                               G             Am7  G/B
You murder time and truth, love, laughter and belief
C                         G           D              G                    D       G
So don?t try to touch my heart, it?s darker than you think
C                      G/B           D        G                                D          G
And don?t try to read my mind because it?s full of disappearing ink


                  Em  D  G      Em          D            G
Say "Good-bye", baby, can?t you act your age
               Em  D  G                Em    D           C
You know why, I?m going to give it to you straight
                     Am       Em                       D              C
Altgough I?ll never be unhappy as you want me to be
Am                   G                      Em  G  Em
Still it?s all the rage

Am       Em                       D              C
Altgough I?ll never be unhappy as you want me to be
Am                   G                      Em  G  Em
