Lyrics by Bernie Taupin and Music by Elton John

Intro: C#m B/C# C#m C#m7 B/G# C#m7
       Badd9/C# C#m Badd9/G# B/C# C#m

    B/G#    C#m
I’m getting bored
Being part of mankind,
              E7
There’s not a lot to do no more,
A7                      F#7
This race is a waste of time.

C#m
People rushing everywhere,
E7
Swarming around like flies,
A7
Think I’ll buy a forty-four,
F#7                G#7
Give ‘em all a surprise.

Chorus:
   E7
     Think I’m gonna kill myself,
   F#7
     Cause a little suicide,
   B7
     Stick around for a couple of days,
   A                E
     What a scandal if I died.

   E7
     Yeah, I’m gonna kill myself,
   F#7
     Get a little headline news.
   B7
     I’d like to see what the papers say
            A7               E
     On the state of teenage blues.

Instrumental: E E E B/Eb | C#m C#m C#m E/B
              A A A E/G# | F#m G#7

C#m
A rift in my family,
E7
I can’t use the car,
A7
I gotta be in by ten o’clock,
F#7
– Who do they think they are?

C#m
I’d make an exception
       E7
If you want to save my life,
A7
Brigitte Bardot gotta come
    F#7          G#7
And see me every night.

Chorus:
   E7
     I think I’m gonna kill myself,
   F#7
     Cause a little suicide,
   B7
     Stick around for a couple of days,
   A                E
     What a scandal if I died.

   E7
     Yeah, I’m gonna kill myself,
   F#7
     Get a little headline news.
   B7
     I’d like to see what the papers say
            A7               E
     On the state of teenage blues.

     Kill myself,
   F#7        B7
     Suicide,
   A                E
     What a scandal if I died.

   E7
     Suicide,
   F#7              B7
     Headline news.
            A7               E
     On the state of teenage blues.
