Teenage Tearaway

G# F#
G# F#
G# F#
G# F#

[Chorus]
      G#
I'm a teenage tearaway
      F#
I'm a tearaway teen
      G#
I'm a teenage tearaway
          F#
What does that even mean?

[Verse]
G#
Bored of the bomb scares and all that stuff
F#
Do you think that they'll ever stop?
G#
Acid attacks now on a daily basis
F#
Corrupt police beat [?] in places
       G#
With a camera, they showing
      F#
Still no signs of slowing
              G#
All happening behind the closed doors
         F#
They can twist and bend the laws
        G#
Just to justify the shame of cause
F#
Running through wheat well what an athlete
G#
Out on the street keep the [?] receipt
F#
Couple of cuts
       G#
I came first to the scene
F#
Empty bottles thrown on top of gasoline
       G#
Still, nothing to be seen
F#
He was only 16
G#
Selling out fluorine
   F#
He was down on nothing

[Chorus]
      G#
I'm a teenage tearaway
      F#
I'm a tearaway teen
      G#
I'm a teenage tearaway
          F#
What does that even mean?

[Verse]
G#
Smashed windscreen, he was laying in between
[???] (Just repeat the normal pattern of G# F#)
F#
Feeling fully fed up
         G#
When the shit goes down
        F#
I'll be running faster than a trained red hound
         G#
But with directions, I still ain't sure
F#
All I know is I won't turn to the law

[Chorus]
      G#
I'm a teenage tearaway
      F#
I'm a tearaway teen
      G#
I'm a teenage tearaway
          F#
What does that even mean?

[Verse]
G#
Only bothered what she gets on her pregnancy test
F#
Ain't a fool, she was born into it
G#
Mother then daughter, 16 in between
    F#
The dad's not there, nowhere to be seen
G#
Government turn a blind eye when they zoom-zoom
F#
Decorate the flat like an illusion
G#
Everyone fine, no hate no crime
F#
Off to an urban resort for the blind

[Chorus]
      G#
I'm a teenage tearaway
      F#
I'm a tearaway teen
      G#
I'm a teenage tearaway
          F#
What does that even mean?
