Intro:  D

D
Oh I could bore you with the truth

About an uneventful youth
   G                  A                  D
Or you could get that rap from someone else

And I could make an observation


If you are the voice of a generation
   G                  A                  D
But I'm too self absorbed to give it clout

   G                 D
And I, I don't really care about
 G                                          D
Anybody else when I haven't got my whole life figured out
                     A
Cause when you're young and bored and 24

And you don't know who you are no more

        D
There's no hope
         G       F#m      E
And it's hard to come of age
A            D
I think it's a ṗroblem
         G       F#m   E
And it never goes my way
A      D       G       F#m   E
And no, I am so self-obsessed
A                    D
I guess, but there's no hope
        G       F#m     E
But I hope it's just a phase
A           D
Or I'll grow-oh-oh-oh


D
Oh I could look for inspiration

Find it in a chart on an English station
       G               A                  D
but wouldn't that be cheap and ill-informed

And I could bet you don't believe me

If I said it came from deep within me
        G                  A            D
But I promise you I'm telling you the truth


G                       D
And I, I don't really care about
G                                               D

        D
There's no hope
         G       F#m      E
And it's hard to come of age
A            D
I think it's a ṗroblem
         G     F#m   E
And it'll never go away
A        D       G       F#m   E
And no, I am so self-obsessed
A                      D
I guess, but there's no hope
        G       F#m     E
But I hope it's just a phase
A             D
And I'll grow


D
Well I wish that I was comfortable in my own skin

But the whole thing feels like an exercise
G
And drank would be someone I would rather not be

I'd try to second guess if you would be approving
D
I find my life ever so moving

Keen wide-eyed and unassuming
A
Hoṗe

           D
There is no hope

But there's desperately
  D
No hope, but there's definitely
  G
No hope if you don't believe me
A
Oh, oh, oh
               D
And there is no hope

But there's desperately
  D
No hope, but there's definitely
  G
No hope if you don't believe me
A
Oh, oh, oh


      G                D
But I, I don't really care about

D         G F#m E
There is no hope
A                D
I know, it's a problem
        G F#m       E
And it never goes my way
    A     D   G    F#m  E
And no, I am so self-obsessed

             A        A D
Or I'll grow-oh-oh-oh
