Bi[B]Bite your face to spite your n[E]nose
1[B]17 and a half years o[E]old

Where's the [B]fun in doing what you're [E]told?
 
I said "[B]"No!
[F#]Oh give it a rest, I [E]could persuade you
I'm not your [B]typical, stoned 18 ye[F#]year old
Give me a n[E]night I'll make you.
I know you're l[B]looking for salvation in the [F#]secular age,
But girl I'm n[E]not your saviour"

God [E]help me now

A [B]pair of frozen hands to [E]hold,
Oh she's so s[B]southern so she feels the [E]cold,
One moment I was [B]tearing off your blouse,
Now you're [E]living in my house.
What [B]happened to just messing [E]around?
 
I said [B]"Yo, I think [F#]I better go; [E]I can't take you.
You just [B]sit and get stoned with [F#]
30 year olds and you t[E]think you've made it.
Well, [B]shouldn't you be fucking with [F#]
somebody your age instead of m[E]making changes?"
[B]Wrestle to the g[F#]ground
[E]God help me now
