E                  D              A
Boys like you were born to waste

          E           D           A
You never listen to a word I say

           E                    D                  A
And if you think you're here to mess around you're making a big mistake

            E                  D         A
'Cos you're gonna find out the hard way

       E                  D         A
You're gonna find out the hard way

Well you do it your way and I'll do it my way

      E             D         A
We'll see who's the one to survive

                 C#m         F#m       C#m    F#m
You'll find that with no foundation or qualifications

        E           D           A
There's no way that you can get by

            G                  E
No, there's no way you can get by

.... and so on. On the last solo, after running through a regular verse, the
chords are C#m, F#m, D (pause) D-C#-B-A.
