Verse 1
[A#]Boy, it’s late, walk me home, put your hand in mine,
[Gm]Let the game stop and say, “Be my valentine”
[D#]You are, by far, the brightest star I’ve ever seen [F]
And I never dreamed I’d be so happy that I could die.
[A#]You used to say that I was beautiful, like Cleopatra,
But you the king, too, so I would say it back at ya.
[Gm]I flip my hair and make you stare and put my make-up on
And make up stories about my life and that I’m very cherry-bomb.
[D#]And even then I knew that we were something serious,
That you would dominate my thoughts like radio deserious.
[F]I see you in the hall like “hello, hello”
Up against the wall like let’s go, let’s go.
Chorus
[D#]Let me take you out of this town,
Let me do it right [Gm]now, baby.
[F]Dancing till dawn, staying forever young,
[D#]Let’s get out of this place, ‘cause you’re starting to [Gm]waste
Within this [F]teenage wasteland.
[D#]You will never see my face
If you don’t get me out of this [Gm]place, now, baby,
[F]I'm not crazy.
[D#]I’m leaving, are y [D#m]ou coming with me?
Verse 2
[A#]If you're lonely, baby, hold me,
You’re my only one.
[Gm]Watching television, kissing till we see the sun.
[D#]So far we are safe in the dark
And I n [F]ever dreamed that I’d be
the queen and I’d be so happy that I could die.
[A#]You used to call yourself the Don and call me Queen Diana
You always made me blush and say, “Shut up boy, you bananas”
[Gm]You pull my hair and push me down and chase me, make me run,
You play me Biggie Smalls and then my first Nirvana song
[D#]So even though we're no one’s friends, we're really serious
I knew you loved me by the way you looked in second period.
[F]I see you in the hall like “hello, hello”
Up against the wall like let’s go, let’s go.
Chorus
[D#]Let me take you out of this town,
Let me do it right now, baby [Gm].
[F]Dancing till dawn, staying forever young,
[D#]Let’s get out of this place, ‘cause you’re starting to [Gm]waste
Within this [F]teenage wasteland.
[D#]You will never see my face
If you don’t get me out of thi [Gm]s place now, baby,
[F]I'm not crazy.
[D#]I’m leaving, are you coming wit [D#m]h me?
Bridge
[Gm]I know that they say that all I want [D]is to
have fun and get away [A#]for rainy days. [C]
[Gm]I know that they think I’ve come undo [D]ne, but
all it was, I wanna [A#]run, run, run away. [C]
[D#]I’m leaving, are you coming w [D#m]ith me?
Chorus
[D#]Let me take you out of this town,
Let me do it right now, baby [Gm].
[F]Dancing till dawn, staying forever young,
[D#]Let’s get out of this place, ‘cause you’re starting to [Gm]waste
Within this [F]teenage wasteland.
[D#]You will never see my face
If you don’t get me out of thi [Gm]s place now, baby,
[F]I'm not crazy.
[D#]I’m leaving, are you coming wit [D#m]h me?
