Intro:
|Am   Aadd9| (3x)
|Am---     |

Verse 1:
 Am
Maybe, if you were some spear-headed guy
         F
I would listen to what you have to say
       C
But you’re just some incapable figure
              E              E7
thinking you’re bigger than me

Verse 2:
            Am
But you’re not, yeah, you don't know a thing about
     F                Fmaj7
the youth of today
 C
Stating your opinion
           E                   E7
making it ring in my head all day and you say:

Prechorus:
 Am
My children weren't the same, my children's children
             F
they're the ones to blame
                 C
And you say: in my days we were better behaved
          E                E7
but it's not your day, no more

Chorus:
 Am
We are the youth of today, change your hair in every way,
 F
We are the youth of today, we'll say what we want to say,
 C
And we are the youth of today,
                                 E     E7
don't care what you have to say at all

Verse 3:
 Am
And maybe if you had a true point of view
F             Fadd9 – F
I would listen to you,
          C
But it’s just your one sided feelings
           E                 E7
they keep getting in my way

Verse 4:
 Am
And you – you don’t know a single thing
F          Fadd9 - F
about the youth of today
         C
Stating your opinion and
           E                   E7
making it ring in my head all day - and you say,

Prechorus:
 Am
My children weren't the same, my children's children
F             Fadd9 - F
they're the ones to blame
                 C
And you say: in my days we were better behaved
          E                E7
but it's not your day, no more

Chorus:
 Am
We are the youth of today, change your hair in every way,
 F
We are the youth of today, we'll say what we want to say,
 C
And we are the youth of today, don't care what you have to say at all

                                 E     E7
don't care what you have to say at all
