Teenage Wasteland / Prom Song (gone Wrong)

Chords

Standard

G
boy, it's late, walk me home, 
put your hand in mine
Em
let the game stop and 
say “Be my valentine”
C                                                 D
you are, by far, the brightest star I've ever seen
And I never dreamed I'd be so happy that I could die.
G
you used to say that I was beautiful, like Cleopatra
but you the king too, so I would say it back at ya
Em
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
C
and even then I knew that 
we were something serious,
That you would dominate my thoughts 
like radio deserious
D
I see you in the hall like “hello, hello”
up against the wall like let's go, let's go

C
Let me take you out of this town
                   Em
Let me do it right now, baby
D
Dancing till dawn, staying forever young
C                                                 Em
Let's get out of this place 'cause you're starting to waste
            D
Within this teenage wasteland

C
You will never see my face
                                Em
If you don't get me out of this place, now, baby
D
I'm not crazy.

C                Cm
I'm leaving, are you coming with me?

G
If you're lonely, baby, hold me, you're my only one
Em
Watching television, kissing till we see the sun
C
So far we are safe in the dark
      D
And I never dreamed that I'd be the queen 
and I'd be so happy that I could die

G
You used to call yourself the Don 
and call me Queen Diana
You always made me blush 
and say “Shut up boy, you bananas”
Em
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
C
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
D
I see you in the hall like “hello, hello”
Up against the wall like let's go, let's go

C
Let me take you out of this town
                   Em
Let me do it right now, baby
D
Dancing till dawn, staying forever young
C                                                    Em
Let's get out of this place 'cause you're starting to waste
            D
Within this teenage wasteland

C
You will never see my face
                               Em

I know that they say that all I want is to have fun 
             G
and get away from rainy days
A                                  B                                                  
I know that they think I've come undone, but I am in love

I wanna run, run, run away.
