The way that authors looks

                     Dm                       D 
Than training these guns on those men in the sand

I stumble to the graveyard and I

Lay down by my parents, whisper

Just remember duckies 
G 
Everybody gets got

I'd rather be high 

      D                               A 
I'm seventeen and my looks can prove it 
     D                         A 
I'm so afraid that I will lose it 
    E                                  
I'd rather smoke and phone my ex

Be pleading for some teenage sex
