Intro: F#m E/F# F#m F#m7 E/C# F#m7
       Eadd9/F# F#m Eadd9/C# E/F# F#m

    E/C#    F#m
I’m getting bored
Being part of mankind,
              A7
There’s not a lot to do no more,
D7                      B7
This race is a waste of time.

F#m
People rushing everywhere,
A7
Swarming around like flies,
D7
Think I’ll buy a forty-four,
B7                 C#7
Give ‘em all a surprise.

Chorus:
   A7
     Think I’m gonna kill myself,
   B7
     Cause a little suicide,
   E7
     Stick around for a couple of days,
   D                A
     What a scandal if I died.

   A7
     Yeah, I’m gonna kill myself,
   B7
     Get a little headline news.
   E7
     I’d like to see what the papers say
            D7               A
     On the state of teenage blues.

Instrumental: A A A E/G# | F#m F#m F#m A/E
              D D D A/C# | Bm C#7

F#m
A rift in my family,
A7
I can’t use the car,
D7
I gotta be in by ten o’clock,
B7
– Who do they think they are?

F#m
I’d make an exception
       A7
If you want to save my life,
D7
Brigitte Bardot gotta come
    B7           C#7
And see me every night.

Chorus:
   A7
     I think I’m gonna kill myself,
   B7
     Cause a little suicide,
   E7
     Stick around for a couple of days,
   D                A
     What a scandal if I died.

   A7
     Yeah, I’m gonna kill myself,
   B7
     Get a little headline news.
   E7
     I’d like to see what the papers say
            D7               A
     On the state of teenage blues.

     Kill myself,
   B7         E7
     Suicide,
   D                A
     What a scandal if I died.

   A7
     Suicide,
   B7               E7
     Headline news.
            D7               A
     On the state of teenage blues.
