Intro: Gm F/G Gm Gm₇ F/D Gm₇
       Fadd₉/G Gm Fadd₉/D F/G Gm

    F/D     Gm
I’m getting bored
Being part of mankind,
              Bb₇
There’s not a lot to do no more,
Eb₇                     C₇
This race is a waste of time.

Gm
People rushing everywhere,
Bb₇
Swarming around like flies,
Eb₇
Think I’ll buy a forty-four,
C₇                 D₇
Give ‘em all a surprise.

Chorus:
   Bb₇
     Think I’m gonna kill myself,
   C₇
     Cause a little suicide,
   F₇
     Stick around for a couple of days,
   Eb               Bb
     What a scandal if I died.

   Bb₇
     Yeah, I’m gonna kill myself,
   C₇
     Get a little headline news.
   F₇
     I’d like to see what the papers say
            Eb₇              Bb
     On the state of teenage blues.

Instrumental: Bb Bb Bb F/A | Gm Gm Gm Bb/F
              Eb Eb Eb Bb/D | Cm D₇

Gm
A rift in my family,
Bb₇
I can’t use the car,
Eb₇
I gotta be in by ten o’clock,
C₇
– Who do they think they are?

Gm
I’d make an exception
       Bb₇
If you want to save my life,
Eb₇
Brigitte Bardot gotta come
    C₇           D₇
And see me every night.

Chorus:
   Bb₇
     I think I’m gonna kill myself,
   C₇
     Cause a little suicide,
   F₇
     Stick around for a couple of days,
   Eb               Bb
     What a scandal if I died.

   Bb₇
     Yeah, I’m gonna kill myself,
   C₇
     Get a little headline news.
   F₇
     I’d like to see what the papers say
            Eb₇              Bb
     On the state of teenage blues.

     Suicide,
   Eb               Bb
     What a scandal if I died.

   Bb₇
     Suicide,
   C₇               F₇
     Headline news.
            Eb₇              Bb
     On the state of teenage blues.
