(chorded by Adrian Suter)

Note: instead of G you can always play G7. In fact I prefer it with G7 and
the quick chord changes are easier that way, but I wrote G since I am no
t sure if I really hear the 7 on the CD.

Intro: C

F   C               G        C
Oh, kid you're in a terrible state

       F             C            G        C
better pick yourself up before it gets too late

            F        C            G        C
You're into physical fitness and emotional flatness

    F             C           G          C
you think your an actress you act like a mattress

Bb          C      Bb          C
How does it happen how does it happen

F      C             G       Am
how do things get to be that way?

Bb          C      Bb          C
how does it happen how does it happen

  F                      G                     Am
I feel like a wheel on a train that's running away

         C
running away

         Am
running away

         C
running away

         Am
running away



2nd and 3rd verse:
...

  F                      G                     Am

running away

        Am
running away

        C
running away

        Am
running away

        F
running away

  G7(?)                                      C
