[Verse 1]
E                  B
A sixteen hundred, packed with angry young men
     A
Came burning down main street
E                           B
I touched the Epiphone that hung on my hip
            A
It knew the sound of my heartbeat
F#m                       G#m
But turning the corner in a twisted heap
     B
They pulled some bodies from an upturned Ford
E                         B
Some kid looked at me and said, it's only life
              A
Might as well use it while we're young
A
Might as well use it while we're young


[Verse 2]
E                                  B
I queued with some friends outside the ABC One
           A
To see the killer with no name
      E                           B
Yeah, De Niro's so great, and you know last week
          A
I saw the universe in flames
         F#m                         G#m
But it's always the same like Citizen Kane
               B
Ya end up with nothing! and you leave for home
E                        B
Talking and kicking coke cans in the street
A                        A
As Fu Manchu looks on
A
As Fu Manchu looks on


[Chorus]
G                                 Am
And I thought they must think I'm crazy
    C                   D
The things I'll see for fun
G                        Am
Then in my mind I saw the enemy
      C                  D
And I wasted him with my gun

[Verse 3]
E                       B
I thought of my brother working Heathrow
       A
Flying engines in the night
E                             B
Learning every part, he'll be through in years
     A
When I'm signed on for life
F#m                      G#m      B
Lying here, waiting for a hero to rise
N.C.
But a lazy man lies back instead
E                B              A
No one hears the young man when he's alone
E           B        A    A
Planning to kill someone!
A                                  A
Well he's planning to kill someone


[Chorus]
G                                 Am
And I thought it must be me who's crazy
    C                   D
The things I'll do for fun
G                         Am
Choosing poison to get to paradise
C             D   A
Paradise West one

G                                 Am
And I thought it must be me who's crazy
    C                   D
The things I'll do for fun
G                         Am
Choosing poison to get to paradise
C             D   A
Paradise West one
