                                       D
                Back in the school yard life wasn't so hard
                                        A
                        But I couldn't wait to leave
                D                                             A
    I left school at sixteen tired of the routine, money is what I need
              B             G             A                   D
          I got into the job line, but there's no work for my kind
                 B               G           D             A
               No school tie and no degree, no chance for me
                                      D
              I found some employment,but still no enjoyment,
                                       A
                           I worked in a factory
                                      D
               I picked up my wages, the first time in ages,
                                       A
                        It doesn't seem enough to me
                  B                G         A               D
           The years go by in slow time, became a man in no time
              B                 G                D              A
          You came along, the time was right, turned on the light
                     (no chord)            D             A
          Gonna love my life away, I wish I could,(I wish I could)
                                      G
                       Girl you're leadin me astrtay,
                              D               A
                 I'll be misunderstood (been misunderstood)
          G D A                            G  D  A    G,D,A  G,D,A
                 Oh, Oh, I'm in my second childhood, oh oh,
                                      D
              Back on the breadline, seemed like a long time,
                                        A
                        The waiting was all in vain
                  D                                        A
     I spent my vacation, down at the station waving to all the trains
            B                 G           A                     D
          And in this deep depression, I should' learned my lesson
              B                  G             D               A
            I found you in the nick of time, who'll buy the wine
         Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
                       Girl you're leadin, me astray,
                I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
             Oh, Oh, I'm in my second childhood, oh oh (G,D,A)

                   (no chord)                  D          A
       It's hard to act my age now, I'm going through that stage now
                  D                  A   D                 A
                You make me feel good, you make me feel good
                  (no chord)                  D            A
        Now I don't feel so grown up, cause everrytime you phone up
                  D                 A   D                 A
                You make me feel good you make me feel good
               (Instrumental) - G,D,A (repeat about 8 times)

                       Girl you're leadin, me astray,
                I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
