Teenage Wildlife Chords & Lyrics by David Bowie
Teenage Wildlife
guitar chords lyrics
(intro) G# C#
G# C#
Well,how come you only want tomorrow
G# C#
With its promise of something hard to do
G# D#
A real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold
F# C# G#
Blue skies above and sun on your arms strength in your stride
D#
And hope in those squeaky clean eyes
F#
You'll get chilly receptions everywhere you go
C# G# D#
Blinded with desire - guess the season is on
G# C#
So you train by the shadow boxing, search for the truth
But it's all, but it's all used up
G#
Break open your million dollar weapon
C#
And push your luck, still you push, still you push your luck
G#
A broken nosed mogul are you
D#
One of the new wave boys
F#
Same old thing in brand new drag
C# G# D#
Comes sweeping into view, oh-ooh
F#
As ugly as a teenage millionaire
C# G#
Pretending it's a whizz kid world
D#
You'll take me aside, and say
F#
"well David, what shall I do?"
C#
They wait for me in the hallway"
G# C#
I'll say "dont ask me, I don't know any hallways"
G# D#
But they move in numbers and they've got me in a corner
G#
I feel like a group of one,no-no
C#
They can't do this to me
G# C# G#
I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife
Fm D#
Those midwives to history put on their bloody robes
Fm D#
The word is that the hunted one is out there on his own
F#
You're alone for maybe the last time
And you breath for a long time
C#
Then you howl like a wolf in a trap
And you daren't look behind
Fm D#
You fall to the ground like a leaf from the tree
G# C#
And look up one time at the vast blue sky
Fm
Scream out aloud as they shoot you down
F# C# G# C#
No no, I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife
G# C# G# D# F# C# G# D#
I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife
C# G# C# G#
And no one will have seen and no on will confess
C# G# C#
The fingerprints will prove that you couldn't pass the test G#
C# G# C#
There'll be others on the line filing past, who'll whisper low G#
C#
I miss you he really had to go
Well each to his own, he was
G# C#
Another piece of teenage wildlife, 0h-0h-0h-ohh
G# C#
Another piece of teenage wildlife, 0h-oh-oh-ohh
G#
Another piece of teenage wild....
C#
Wild
G#
Wild
