Lyrics

bye.

I’ve had e nough of dan ger

and peo ple on the streets.

I’m look ing out for (F)an gels,

just try in’ to find some (Gm7)peace.

Now I think it’s (C)time

that you let me (Dm)know.

So if you love me,

say you love me;

but if you don’t, just (Gm7)let me go.

’Cause, teach er,

there are things

that I don’t wan na (F)learn,

and the last one I (F)had made me (Gsus)cry.

So (C)I don’t wan na learn to hold you, touch you,

think that you’re (Dm)mine,

be cause it (Bb)ain’t no joy

for an (B)up town boy whose (Bb)teach er has told him good (F)bye,

good (Bb)bye,

good bye.

I’ve had e nough of dan ger

and peo ple on the streets.

I’m look ing out for (F)an gels,

just try in’ to find some (Gm7)peace.

Now I think it’s (C)time

that you let me (Dm)know.

So if you love me,

say you love me;

but if you don’t, just (Gm7)let me go.

And, teach er,

there are things

that I don’t wan na (F)learn,

and the last one I (F)had made me (Gsus)cry.

So (C)I don’t wan na learn to hold you, touch you,

think that you’re (Dm)mine,

be cause it (Bb)ain’t no joy

for an (B)up town boy whose (Bb)teach er has told him good (F)bye,

good (Bb)bye,

good (F)bye.

So when you (Bb)say that you need me, that you’ll nev er leave me, I know you’re wrong, you’re not that strong.

Let me (C)go.

(F)side.

(Bb)May be just one (C)more (F)try.
