[Intro]
Ab Db
Well,Abhow come you only want toDbmorrow
With Abits promise of something hard to Dbdo
A reaAbl life adventure worth more than Ebpieces of gold
GbBlue skies above and sun on your arms stDbrength in your strideAb  
And hope in tEbhose squeaky clean eyes
YGbou'll get chilly receptions everywhere you go
DbBlinded with desire - Abguess the seEbason is on
So you tAbrain by the shadow boxing, search for the truthDb  
But it's all, but it's all used up
BreaAbk open your million dollar weapon
And push your lDbuck, still you push, still you push your luck
A bAbroken nosed mogul are you
One of the nEbew wave boys
SGbame old thing in brand new drag
CDbomes sweeping into Abview, oEbh-ooh
As Gbugly as a teenage millionaire
PreDbtending it's a whizz kid wAborld
You'll take me aEbside, and say
Gb"well David, what shall I do?"
They Dbwait for me in the hallway"
I'll say Ab"dont ask me, I don't know any hDballways"
But they Abmove in numbers and they've gEbot me in a corner
I feel Ablike a group of one,no-no
DbThey can't do this to me
I'm not some piece of tAbeenage wildlifeDb  Ab  
ThFmose midwives to history put on their bloody robes Eb  
The Fmword is that the hunted one is out there on his own Eb  
You'Gbre alone for maybe the last time
And you breath for a long time
Then you howl like a Dbwolf in a trap
And you daren't look behind
YFmou fall to the ground like a lEbeaf from the tree
And Ablook up one time at the vDbast blue sky
Scream out aloud as they sFmhoot you down
No nGbo, I'm not a pDbiece of teenage wiAbldlifeDb  
I'm not a piece of teenage wilAbdlifeDb  Ab  Eb  Gb  Db  Ab  Eb  
ADbnd no one will have sAbeen anDbd no on will conAbfess
The Dbfingerprints will pAbrove that Dbyou couldn't pass  the test Ab
TherDbe'll be others on the Abline filing past, Dbwho'll whisper low Ab
I misDbs you he really had to go
Well each to his own, he was
Another piece of teenage Abwildlife, 0h-0h-0h-ohDbh
Another piece of teenage Abwildlife, 0h-oh-oh-ohDbh
Another piece of teenage Abwild...

[Intro]

Ab Db

Well,how come you only want tomorrow

Ab Db

With its promise of something hard to do

Ab Eb

A real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold

Gb Db Ab

Blue skies above and sun on your arms strength in your stride

And hope in those squeaky clean eyes

You'll get chilly receptions everywhere you go

Db Ab Eb

Blinded with desire - guess the season is on

Ab Db

So you train by the shadow boxing, search for the truth

But it's all, but it's all used up

Break open your million dollar weapon

And push your luck, still you push, still you push your luck

A broken nosed mogul are you

One of the new wave boys

Same old thing in brand new drag

Db Ab Eb

Comes sweeping into view, oh-ooh

As ugly as a teenage millionaire

Db Ab

Pretending it's a whizz kid world

You'll take me aside, and say

"well David, what shall I do?"

They wait for me in the hallway"

Ab Db

I'll say "dont ask me, I don't know any hallways"

Ab Eb

But they move in numbers and they've got me in a corner

I feel like a group of one,no-no

They can't do this to me

Ab Db Ab

I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife

Fm Eb

Those midwives to history put on their bloody robes

Fm Eb

The word is that the hunted one is out there on his own

You're alone for maybe the last time

And you breath for a long time

Then you howl like a wolf in a trap

And you daren't look behind

Fm Eb

You fall to the ground like a leaf from the tree

Ab Db

And look up one time at the vast blue sky

Scream out aloud as they shoot you down

Gb Db Ab Db

No no, I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife

Ab Db Ab Eb Gb Db Ab Eb

I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife

Db Ab Db Ab

And no one will have seen and no on will confess

Db Ab Db

The fingerprints will prove that you couldn't pass the test Ab

Db Ab Db

There'll be others on the line filing past, who'll whisper low Ab

I miss you he really had to go

Well each to his own, he was

Ab Db

Another piece of teenage wildlife, 0h-0h-0h-ohh

Ab Db

Another piece of teenage wildlife, 0h-oh-oh-ohh

Another piece of teenage wild...
