I love this song!! This is another one of those tabfiles that
probably no-one will ever look at though, coz this band isn't
very well known. I just decided to check them out because the
Dandy Warhols kept talking about how great they are.
This is just basic chords, the only thing to look out for is
the D Dsus2 change that comes pretty often, just listen to
hear how it is. You can just play D if you think that sounds
better. Some errors might be in the lyrics, I couldn't find
them anywhere on the web so I had to write them down myself.
INTRO:
------
A E G D Dsus2 A G A
A E G D Dsus2 A G A
VERSE 1:
--------
A E
The kids today, they got nothing to say
G D Dsus2
They got nothing to say, because they taught 'em that way
A
They wanna watch 'em grow old
G A
Put them in their graves 'till they're gone
VERSE 2:
--------
A E
They mess with their hearts and they mess with their minds
G D Dsus2
And they plug up their ears and then they make 'em go blind
A
'till they're walking the street
G A
and they can't tell what time it is
CHORUS:
-------
D Dsus2
You see them standing in line
A
You watch them going insane
D Dsus2
Because they're wasting their time
A
While they're waiting in vain
C G
This is the way it should be
E
You were born to be free
D A
So why you wasting away?
G A
Why you wasting away?
A E G D Dsus2 A G A
A E G D Dsus2 A G A
CHORUS:
-------
D Dsus2
You see them standing in line
A
You watch them going insane
D Dsus2
Because they're wasting their time
A
While they're waiting in vain
C G
This is the way it should be
E
You were born to be free
D A
So why you wasting away?
G A
Why you wasting away?
VERSE 3:
--------
A E
Teachers today they got nothing to say
G D Dsus2
They got nothing to say because they taught 'em that way
A
They only do what they're told so they can
G A
get their pay and go home
VERSE 4:
--------
A E
They walk down the streets with their hearts in their hands
G D Dsus2
And they grow up too fast and then they can't understand
A G A
what it's like to be a woman or maybe a man 'cause it's ??
CHORUS/OUTRO:

While they're waiting in vain
C G
This is the way it should be

You were born to be free
D A
So why you wasting away?
G A
Why you wasting away?
A
You were born to be free
G A
so why you wasting away?
