Lyrics by Bernie Taupin and Music by Elton John

Intro: Am G Am Am₇ G Am₇
       Gadd₉ Am Gadd₉ G Am

    G       Am
I’m getting bored
Being part of mankind,
              C₇
There’s not a lot to do no more,
F₇                      D₇
This race is a waste of time.

Am
People rushing everywhere,
C₇
Swarming around like flies,
F₇
Think I’ll buy a forty-four,
D₇                 E₇
Give ‘em all a surprise.

Chorus:
   C₇
     Think I’m gonna kill myself,
   D₇
     Cause a little suicide,
   G₇
     Stick around for a couple of days,
   F                C
     What a scandal if I died.

   C₇
     Yeah, I’m gonna kill myself,
   D₇
     Get a little headline news.
   G₇
     I’d like to see what the papers say
            F₇               C
     On the state of teenage blues.

Instrumental: C C C G | Am Am Am C
              F F F C | Dm E₇

Am
A rift in my family,
C₇
I can’t use the car,
F₇
I gotta be in by ten o’clock,
D₇
– Who do they think they are?

Am
I’d make an exception
       C₇
If you want to save my life,
F₇
Brigitte Bardot gotta come
    D₇           E₇
And see me every night.

Chorus:
   C₇
     I think I’m gonna kill myself,
   D₇
     Cause a little suicide,
   G₇
     Stick around for a couple of days,
   F                C
     What a scandal if I died.

   C₇
     Yeah, I’m gonna kill myself,
   D₇
     Get a little headline news.
   G₇
     I’d like to see what the papers say
            F₇               C
     On the state of teenage blues.

   C₇
     Kill myself,
   D₇         G₇
     Suicide,
   F                C
     What a scandal if I died.

   C₇
     Suicide,
   D₇               G₇
     Headline news.
            F₇               C
     On the state of teenage blues.
