 If you see this and appreciate it, please drop me a line and
 let me know.  I'd hate for it to fall on deaf ears.

 Paul Weller chord progressions are usually quite odd and difficult
 to figure out -- he doesn't seem to follow any rules, yet somehow
 manages to pull it off.  This song is no exception.

 A                                  F#m
  Life is time you spend alone when you're young
 
 A                              F#m
  Used to fall in love with everyone
 
 A                   F#m
  Any guitar and any bass drum
 
 D                    G
 Life is a drink, and you get drunk
  
      E
 When you're young
 
 [As above]
 Life is new and there's things to be done
 You can't wait to be grown up
 Acceptance into the capital world 
 You pull out some weed and their bullets are warm
 When you're young
 
 	A                       E

 But you find  out  life  isn't  like that
 [As above]
 It's so hard to comprehend
 But you set up your dreams
 To have them smashed in the end
 
     D
 But you don't mind
         C#m
 You got time on your side
     Bm
 And they're never gonna
          F#
 make you stand in line
 D                                 E    A  F#m  A  F#m
 You're just waiting for the right time
 
 You're feeling so great you can't be stopped when you're young
 You swear you're never ever gonna work for someone
 No corporations for the new age sons
 Tears of rage roll down your face
 But still you says it's fun
 
 But you find out life isn't like that
 You try hard to understand
 Well the world is your oyster
 but your future's a clam
 It's got you in its grip
 Before you're born
 You're stoned with a user that I can't afford[*]
 They'll let you be a king
 But you're really a pawn
 
 A  F#m    A  F#m   A  F#m  A

 A F#m (repeat ad lib to fade)
 
 Country -- the lights are going out
 In millions of homes and thousands of flats
 Goin' out, goin' out, goin' out, goin' out
 Goin' out, goin' out, goin' out, goin' out
