   These people, are my people, watch how we roll
                             C  C7/         Bb  F/A  
   don’t mess ‘em up, they’re young, life’s only just begun
                             C  C7/             Bb    F/A   F   F/E  Dm

   And I like them them roughed up, a little fucked up, if it can be
   arranged,
   As high as a kite and is willing to fight as a man of his age.
   God I could fall for a man, who can sing about love and depression among

   A man who sings about romance
   Woman he hardly kno-o-ows,
   What good does it bring, this is the life that he cho-o-ose…
   A man who sings about romance
   Woman he hardly knows kno-ows,
   What good does it bring, this is the life that he chose-o-ose…
   These people, are my people, watch how we roll
   don’t mess ‘em up, they’re young, life’s only just begun
   And for the record we were messed up, on our own
   He takes the fakes and puts them in their place
   And he swiftly moves along
   And he’s known around
   He’s passed his break of social season hearts
   Yeah I’ve spoke and yeah we get along
   Man I could fall for a man, who sings about, love and depression among 
   other things,
   And a man who sings about romance
   Woman he hardly kno-o-ows,
   What good does it bring, this is the woman he cho-o-ose…
