[E] [D] [E] [G] [D] Well [A] I was only [B] a kid, [A] you know enough [B] to be [A] afraid
[B] Playin' this game, [A] not the [B] way the big boys [A] play
[B] Nothin' to lose, maybe I have something to [E] say
[D] [A] [E] [G] [D] But [E] when the big [D] wig [A] stares
[E] [G] [D] Well [A] I was only [B] a kid on a [Em] holy [B] crusade
[A] I placed [B] no trust [A] in a faith [B] I'd already [A] made
Take [B] more chances, [Em] I'm a [B] paradise [E] in [D] need
[A] [E] [G] [D] So [E] I feel a [D] slur, [A] [E] babe

[B] Layin' [G#] for time,
[B] don't wanna [F#] wait [E] for heaven
[B] [F#] [G#m] Lookin' for love,
[E] [F#] for an angel [E] to forgive [F#] my [B] sins
Layin' [G#] in fire,
[B] chasing [F#] something new to [E] believe in
[B] [G#m] Lookin' for love, [E] [F#] the way [E] the big [F#] wig spins
[E] [F#] The way [E] the big [F#] wig spins
Well [A] I was only [B] a kid, [A] cruisin' round [B] in a trance
[A] It's no [B] faith, it's none of [A] [B] circumstance
[A] I was blinded [B] for glory, [A] but the tears [B] sold out in [E] advance
[D] [E] [G] [D] The [E] way the big [D] wig [A] [E] spins
[G] Well [A] I was only [B] a kid, [A] gone [B] without a backward [A] glance
[B] Gone for free, [A] going [B] for another [A] chance
Passing [B] for heaven, [A] coming for [B] the final [E] match
[D] [A] [E] [G]
