I Was A Teenage Anarchist Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G]
[G][G]

[Verse 1]
I was a [G]teenage anarchist,
looking for a revolution
I had the [Em]style, I had the ambition,
read all the authors, I knew the right slogans
There was no [G]war but the class war
I was ready to set the world on fire
I was a [Em]teenage anarchist,

[Pre-chorus 1]
looking for a revolution
[G]Do [D]you remem[C]ber[G]
when you were [C]young and you wanted to
[G]set the world on [Am]fire?

[Chorus 1]
[G]Do [D]you remem[C]ber[Em]
when you were [G]young and you wanted to
[D]set the world on [C]fire?[Em]

[Verse 2]
I was a [G]teenage anarchist,
but the politics were too convenient
In the [Em]depths of their humanity
all I saw was bloodless ideology
And with [G]freedom as the doctrine,
guess who was the new authority?
I was a [Em]teenage anarchist, but the
politics were too [C]convenient[G]

[Chorus 2]
[G]Do [D]you remem[C]ber[Em]
when you were [G]young and you wanted to
[D]set the world on [C]fire?[Em]
[G]Do [D]you remem[C]ber[Em]
when you were [G]young and you wanted to
[Am]set the world on f[C]ire?
When you were [G]young and you wanted to
[Am]set the world on f[C]ire?[Em]

[Interlude 1]
[G][G]
[G][G]

[Bridge 1]
I was a [Em]teenage anarchist,
but then the scene got too rigid
It was a [Am]mob mentality,
they set their rifle sights on me
Narrow [C]visions of autonomy,
you want me to surrender my identity
I was a [D]teenage anarchist,
the revolution was a [C]lie[G]

[Chorus 3]
[G]Do [D]you remem[C]ber[Em]
when you were [G]young and you wanted to
[D]set the world on [C]fire?[Em]
[G]Do [D]you remem[C]ber[Em]
when you were [G]young and you wanted to
[Am]set the world on f[C]ire?
When you were [G]young and you wanted to
[Am]set the world on f[C]ire?
When you were [G]young and you wanted to
[Am]set the world on f[C]ire?

[Outro 1]
I was a [G]teenage anarchist
I was a teenage anarchist
I was a teenage anarchist
I was a teenage anarchist
