Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The bands I like,
they don't sell too many records
And the girls I like,
they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
But come on fellas at least we made our choice,
[C]hey![Gsus4][C][Gsus4][C][G][C]
[G]Hey, [C]hey, [G]hey, hey!

[Interlude 1]
[C][Gsus4][C][G][C]
[G]

[Verse 2]
What do we [D]want?[C]
And when do we want [G]it?
And how would [D]we feel if we knew that
[C]we were never gonna get it?[G]
And where did [D]we start [C]from?
And where are we [G]going?
Can anyone here [D]say with any certainty that
[C]they know what they're doing?

[Verse 3]
[D]
Ever [Dsus4]feel like an awkward[D] understudy thro[C]wn
into a cast where you just don't get along?
[D]Crowd and the crew all [Dsus4]stand ing[D] silent staring and[C] you can't shake
the feeling that somehow you're doing it [G]wrong[D][G][C]

[Interlude 2]
What do we want?
[G][D][C][G]

[Verse 4]
Mum and [D]dad [C]always seem
like that had [G]a plan
Everything fell [D]apart when mum moved [C]on,
now dad's a broken [G]man
And all these de[D]cisions [C]that
keep getting [G]made
I can't remember [D]making them and
[C]nobody wants to explain

[Verse 5]
[D]
We're all awkward understudies wearing comfort[C]able
shoes getting comfortable with doing it wrong
[D]Missed the dress rehearsals and we had to rush a drink be[C]fore the show
but now it's show time and we're singing our song!

[Verse 6]
Because the [G]bands I like,
they [D]don't sell too many records
[C]And [D]the girls I [C]like,
they don't kiss too many [G]boys
Books I [D]read will never be best [C]sellers,
[D]yeah
But come on fellas at least
we [C]made our [G]choice

[Verse 7]
The [G]bands I like,
they [Em]don't sell too many [D]re cords
And the girls I [C]like,
they don't kiss too many [G]boys
Books I read will never [Em]be best se[D]llers,
yeah
But come on fellas at least
we [C]made our [G]choice

[Verse 8]
Be [D]a fan of every band that [C]made you
want to move your [G]feet[C][G]
Fall in [D]love with every person who [C]ever made
your heart want [Am]to skip [C]a b[D]eat
So [A]come on, come on, come on!
What do we [C]want?
We [D]shall not over[G]come![D][G][C]
We shall not [G]go [D]well![G][C][Gsus4]
[C]Hey, hey!

[Verse 9]
Because the [G]lives we lead,
they [D]will be so very perfect
And the [C]plans we make made us serve
some kind of purpose
But the [G]hearts we meet [D]still
beat the way they used to
If you're do[C]ing it wrong,
well yeah what you gunna [G]do?[D]
What do we want?
