[Verse 1]
Oh b-Fbaby, don'Emt you be so Dmmad because I Cbarely reGmember
And she Ctries to recoDmgnize me with the Emeyes she saw me Amwith in DeFcember
And she's Fstarting to realEmize that it's Dmactually Cnot a Ggood thing
And it's Cso tough because you're Dmdown to go out aEmgain and have aAmnother adFventure
All her Ffriends in the Emalleyway Dmshout back, Cbut she can't Ghear them
[Chorus]
But you're nFever gDmonna Gget Fmy Clove
CWe can Bmonly Amblame Gthe Dmsun
FGet up in the DmmorCning and Grun
You'll be frustrCated 'Emtil the Bbday Dmthat you're Amdone
[Verse 2]
He got Fpunched the mEmouth for sticking his Dmnose in Cother people's Gbusiness
No Cgood solution, Dmalways on the Emverge of Amsome revoFlution
With tough Fluck it may tEmake a thousand yDmears but I tChink we can Gdo it
Best friends Cfight, but they Dmnever enjoy Emlife as good as Amwhen they aFbuse it
He said the Fsoldier is is a Emnecessity, Dmlied of all the Cfailures of mGan
[Chorus]
But you're Fnever Dmgonna Gget Ftheir Clove
CWe can Bmonly Amfight in Gthe Dmsand
You get Ftired when the Dmdays are Ctoo Glong
You get Clonely Emwhen the Bbdays Dmare Amgone
[Solo] 
 C-  Em- Am  
then you stay for a while following the rhythm, and then go back doing
 Am-  G- C  
Basically you repeat this 'til solo ends, then at the end, strumming changes and the
next chord in that strumming is C.
He could neFver mention it or Emhear it now withDmout Cquick tears in Ghis eyes
[Chorus]
And you're Fnever Dmgonna Gget mFy lCove
CWe can Bmonly Amfight in Gthe Dmsand
You get Ftired when the Dmdays are Ctoo Glong
You get Clonely Emwhen the Bbdays Dmare Amgone
Oh you're Fnever Dmgonna Gget Fthis Clove
CWe can Bmroll Amaround in Gthe Dmdark
FThat's about as Dmfar as Cwe Ggo
CGet up Emin the Bbmorning Dmand Amrun
