[Verse]
D
you quit school age twelve
F#m
I was almost seven
G
and quite impressed by your
A
intelligence
D
obviously you
F#m
already knew
G
all that there was to know
D [Fig 1]
and were free to go
D
fourteen years old
F#m
boy, you sure could drive
G
and somtimes you'd let me sit
A
right by your side
D
some years later on
F#m
we would sit and drink
G
I saw how you unwrapped
A
your disappearing act
[Chorus]
G A F#m G G A F#m
you know I always looked up to you, I admired you I'm not a kid I could kid
G
I won't kid myself
G A F#m G
hard as I try those are just stale emotions now
G A F#m G
so I might as well lead them into their end
A
please let it end
[Verse]
D
you walked your own way
F#m
I respect you for that
G
here everything looks the same
A
to eyes untrained
D
good morning sun
F#m
open up the streets
G
I'm thinking which record to
A
put on repeat
[Chorus]
G A F#m G
you know I always looked up to you, I admired you
G A F#m
but I'm not some kid I could kid
G
I won't kid myself
G A F#m G
I will do what it takes to climb out of these days
G A
I will change, I'll behave
F#m G
or at least I'll behave
A D [Fig 1]
yes I'll behave
[Bridge]
G A F#m G
hell yes, I always looked up to you, I admired you
G A F#m
but I'm not some kid I could kid
G
I won't kid myself
G A F#m G
yes, I'll do what it takes to climb up from these days
G A
I will change, I'll behave
F#m G
but at least I must say:
A
I'm not for sale
