G      Am   Bm         G          Em
What a drag it is this gold lame' jeans
G       Am          Bm  G                Em
Is this the coolest way to get through your teens
G             Am   Bm     G                  Em
Well I cut my hair weird, I read that it was in
G             Am        Bm       G            Em
I looked like a rooster that was drowned and  raised again!

G5                    D5
What are you going to do?
G5                EmVII D5
Tell you what I'm gonna do!
G5                D5
Why don't you get away?
G5              E5       Am       B
I'm gonna leave today...

I ran into my room and I fell down on my knees
I thought that fifteen was gonna be a breeze
I picked up my guitar to blast away the clouds
But somebody in the next room yelled "you gotta turn that damn thing down!"

G5                    D5
What are you going to do?
G5                EmVII D5
Tell you what I'm gonna do!
G5                D5
Why don't you get away?
G5            E5         Am         B
I'm gonna cry all day...

C5                    Em
And I know trouble is brewing out there
C5                      D5
But I can hardly care
C5                         Em
They fight all night about his private secretary
Am                    D5
Lipstick stain, blond hair

G5                    D5
What are you going to do?
G5                EmVII D5
Tell you what I'm gonna do!
G5                D5
Why don't you run away?
G5              E5
I'm gonna leave today...

Am
But even I don't know what I'm gonna do
D5
Don't know what I'm gonna do

G5                    D5
What are you going to do?
G5                EmVII D5
Tell you what I'm gonna do!
G5                D5
Why don't you run away?
G5              E5
I'm gonna leave today...
