    D
 Back in the school yard life wasn't so hard
      A
 But I couldn't wait to leave
    D                                             A
 I left school at sixteen tired of the routine, money is what I need
   B             G             A                   D
 I got into the job line, but there's no work for my kind
   B               G           D             A
 No school tie and no degree, no chance for me

   D
 I found some employment,but still no enjoyment,
    A
 I worked in a factory
   D
 I picked up my wages, the first time in ages,
     A
 It doesn't seem enough to me
     B                G         A               D
 The years go by in slow time, became a man in no time
    B                 G                D              A
 You came along, the time was right, turned on the light

    (no chord)            D             A
 Gonna love my life away, I wish I could,(I wish I could)
   G
 Girl you're leadin me astrtay,
  D               A
  I'll be misunderstood (been misunderstood)
 G D A                            G  D  A    G,D,A  G,D,A
 Oh, Oh, I'm in my second childhood, oh oh,

   D
 Back on the breadline, seemed like a long time,
      A
 The waiting was all in vain
   D                                        A
 I spent my vacation, down at the station waving to all the trains
   B                 G           A                     D
 And in this deep depression, I should' learned my lesson
   B                  G             D               A
 I found you in the nick of time, who'll buy the wine

 Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
 Girl you're leadin, me astray,
 I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
 Oh, Oh, I'm in my second childhood, oh oh (G,D,A)

(Solo) - D,G,A,D, D,G,A,D

   (no chord)                  D          A
 It's hard to act my age now, I'm going through that stage now
   D                  A   D                 A
 You make me feel good, you make me feel good
    (no chord)                  D            A
 Now I don't feel so grown up, cause everrytime you phone up
   D                 A   D                 A
 You make me feel good you make me feel good

(Instrumental) - G,D,A (repeat about 8 times)

 Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
 Girl you're leadin, me astray,
 I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
 Oh, Oh, I'm in my second childhood, oh oh
