[G]

[Verse 1]
When I grew [Em]up,
well it felt [C]great
I watched how [D]others took their fate
[G]Some felt afr[Em]aid and undefended[C],
so they [D]got mean
And they [Em]pretended what they [C]knew
made them [Am]belong more than [D]you.
I'm sure you [Em]know
there's lots to learn
[C]But that's not your fau[Am]lt,
that's just your [D]turn, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
[G]Teenagers, [Em]kick our butts,
[C]tell us what the fu[D]ture will bring
[G]Teenagers [Em]look at us,
[C]we have not solved everything
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
We drink and [Em]smoke to numb our [C]pain
We read junk [D]novels on the [G]plane
We use au[Em]thority for [C]show so
we can [D]be a little smarter
We still can [Em]grow, and many [C]do
It's when we [Am]stop
we can't reach [D]you
We feel the loss,
[Em]you feel the blame[C]
We're scared to [Am]lose,
don't be the [D]same, hey hey

[Verse 4]
[G]Teenagers, [Em]kick our butts,
[C]tell us what the fu[D]ture will bring
[G]Teenagers, [Em]look at us,
[C]we have not solved everything

[D][G]

[Verse 5]
The hometown [Em]brought its hero [C]in
To speak at [D]the high school [G]gym
He took a [Em]breath, he took a [C]chance
He strode up [D]in his leather pants
And said, "Gee, thanks... but
I'm here [Em]today because I [C]fought for
what I [Am]felt and what I [D]thought
They put me [Em]down they,
were just [C]wrong
And now it's [Am]they who don't belong,
[D]oh, oh

[Verse 6]
[G]Teenagers, [Em]kick our butts,
[C]tell us what the fu[D]ture will bring
[G]Teenagers [Em]look at us,
[C]we have not solved [D]everything

[Verse 7]
[Em]And when the media tries
[C]to act your age[Am]
Don't be seduced,
[D]they're full of rag[Em]e
Find your [C]voice, do what it takes
[Am]Make sure you make[D] lots of mistakes
[Em]And find the future [C]that redee[Am]ms
Give us [D]hell, give us [Em]dreams
And [C]grow and [Am]grow and [D]grow

[Verse 8]
And [D]someday when some [G]teenagers
[Em]come to kick your butt[C]s
Well then like [Am]I do tr[D]y to
[G]Love[Em][C]
Kick our butt[D]s
[G]Love[Em][C]
Kick our butt[D]s
Oh I [G]love[Em][C]
Kick our butt[D]s
