  [intro]
  |Dm   Dm/C|C/D     |F/D      |G/D     |
  
  Dm                         |C/D                |
    Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals
  F/D                    |G/D       |
    I get my back into my living
  Dm                        |C/D              |
    I don't need to fight to prove I'm right
  F/D                        |G/D       |
    And I don't need to be forgiven
  
  Dm        C/D              |F          |
    My kids ain't gonna break my heart
  G          Fadd9            |Eb           Eb/D|
    My greed ain't gonna spoil their part
  C           F                   |Bb   Bb(A)  Bb(G)  Bb(F)|
    This life just has to be a new one
  Eb                          |Asus4      A     |
    I'm gonna tan underneath a new sun
  
  Dm              |C/D            
  Don't cry, don't raise your eye
      |Bb/D  |Am Am       |Dm 
  It's only        teenage wasteland
  
  [repeat intro]
  
  Don't have the latest suit, the long grass is my fruit
  I am really ordinary man
  The family is free to do just as they please
  And we all sleep together in the caravan
  
  Hey you, don't walk on the turnips
  My lord, when will they ever learn it, ooh
  Look there, nations of travelling children
  Nowhere to go to escape the chill wind
  
  Dm              |C/D            
  Don't cry, don't raise your eye
      |Bb/D |Am Am        |D     D   |
  It's only        teenage wasteland
  
  |A  G  |D   D     |A   G  |D   D  |A   G  |D  D  |A   G   |
  
  D          Dm                  |F         |
     My kids ain't gonna break my heart
  G            Fadd9            |Eb           Eb/D|
  And my greed ain't gonna spoil their part
  C         F                   |Bb   Bb(A)  Bb(G)  Bb(F)|
  This life just has to be a new one
  Eb                          |Asus4      |A     |
    I'm gonna tan underneath a new sun

  E             B |A    (B)|
    Sally, take my hand
  E              B    |A    (B)|
    Travel south cross land
  E               B|A                   (B)|E      B   |A  (B)|
  Put out the fire   and don't look past my shoulder
  
  The exodus is here
  The happy ones are near
  Let's get home before we get older
  
         |E       B |A    (B)|
  Teenage wasteland
  Teenage wasteland
  Teenage wasteland
  It's only teenage wasteland
  Teenage wasteland
  It's only teenage wasteland
  Teenage wasteland
  It's only teenage wasteland
  
             |B    B   |A   A   |
  They're all wasted!
