Inside every teenage girl there's a fountain

Bm F# A A
I make it a thing, when I'm on my own to relieve myself
Bm F# A A
I make it a thing, when I gazelle on stage to believe in myself

Yeah, and pretend I'm walking home

[Chorus 2]
Bm F# A A
It's a matter of life, And the way you walk, you've got a BrylCream queen
Bm F# A A
It's a matter of tact , In the things you talk, that keeps his passport clean
Bm F# E E
A matter of fact , That a cock ain't a cock on a twelve inch screen

So I'll pretend I'm walking home

Do I have to give your money back when I'm the Fuhrerling?
