A X Em X A
I was a young boy that had big plans

I don't have fun and I hate everything
A X A
The world owes me so fuck you

A X Em X A
Glory days don't mean shit to me

I drank a six-pack of apathy
A X Em X A
Life's a bitch and so am I
A X A
The world owes me so fuck you

CHORUS:

F# X D X A
Wasted youth and a fistfull of ideals
F# X Em X A
I had a young and optimistic point of view
F# D
Wasted youth and a fistfull of ideals
F# D
I had a young and optimistic point of view

VERSE 3:

A X Em X A
I've decomposed yet my guts getting fat

A X Em X A
The wife's a nag, and the kid's fucking up

A X A
The world owes me so fuck you
