Spector - All the sad young men
Capo on 1st
C
C
I know, nothing ever really started with a kiss
Am F C
Another night, another town, another licensed premises
C Am
I'm getting bored of all the songs I write and the people I become
F C
Just to stay up late with someone
Am F C
I don't want to make love, I don't want to make plans
C Am
I don't want anyone to want to hold my hand
F C
I don't want to make love, I don't want to make plans
C
It begins in the places that we leave behind
Am F C
Every year goes by, a little less future on our minds
C
These girls like to pretend they can't feel anything anymore
Am F
Boys great life promises
C G Am
But only behind closed doors
F C
I don't want to make love, I don't want to make plans
C Am
I don't want anyone to want to hold my hand
F C
I don't want to make love, I don't want to make plans (all the sad young men)
Am F C
We're all beautiful now like they were beautiful then (all the sad young men)
Am F C
All the miserable girls, all the sad young men
Am F C
Do you like my clothes, my hair, my conversation
C Am
Did you hear me when I said you were the inspiration
F C
It's so meaningless now as it was meaningless then
C Am
All the miserable girls, all the sad young men
F C
I don't want to make love, I don't want to make plans
C Am
I don't want anyone to want to hold my hand
F C
I don't want to make love, I don't want to make plans (all the sad young men)
Am F C
We're all beautiful now like they were beautiful then (all the sad young men)
Am F C
All the miserable girls, all the sad young men, all the sad young men, all the sad young men,
All the sad young men, all the sad young men
Am F C
All the miserable girls, all the sad young men
I have also submitted a tab of the song, which has all the actual guitar parts (The song
is beautifully arranged, with some great guitar lines).
I should also add that these chords and lyrics are probably not 100%, as I did them by
ear. Feel free to leave corrections.
Thanks
