Feed your head with all the things you need when you're hungry
Stay in bed and sleep all day as long as it's Sunday
Cos they'll put words into your mouth they're
Making you feel so ashamed

Making us take the blame
Making us cold in the night
Making us question my heart and my soul
and I feel that it's not quite right

Hey, stay young and invincible
Cos we know just what we are
Come what may, we're unstoppable
Cos we know just what we are

Superb b-side to D'You Know What I Mean single
Verse:
D Dmaj7 Em G
One way out is all you're ever gonna get from .......etc
Chorus :
D F# Em G
Hey stay young and invincible cause we know just what we are........etc
Bridge : (change between D/F# and G is very quick)
Em D/F# G Em
They're making you feel so ashamed. etc
Em D/F# G A (b)
They're making you question your heart and your soul and
(c#) (d) (e)
you think that it's not quite right
The chords in brackets are just individual notes, played on the A string on the following frets :
b - 2 d-5
c - 4 e-7
Can't be bothered to sit and type out the solo, but if anyone really cannot live without it, mail me.
