Verse 2 - same chords (except for last line)
After school is over
You're playing in the dark,

And learn what life's about
And grow up just like them,
Won't let you work it out
C E
And you're full of doubt
E Am
Don't do this and don't do that

What are they tryin' to do ?

Don't want the devil to,
C Dm E A B E E A B E
Come and pull out your eyes___________.
Verse 3 - Same chords as before
Maybe I'm mistaken
Expecting you to fight
Or maybe I'm just crazy
I don't know wrong from right. But while I'm still living
I've just got this to say
It's always up to you, if you want to be that,
F C E
Want to see that, want to see it that way.
Am
You're coming along
