Oh  what's wrong with me
 Said oh  what's wrong with me
 I know what I don't want to be
 A dead end on the family tree
 And I just  lost my virginity
 To a girl  who won't remember me and  I
 Took her out on a shopping spree
Happiness  never happened for free
 Could it be that I imagined things
 I'm just sad instead of heartbroken
 She came home but she's leaving again
 She's coming back but she won't say when
 And I don't  sing songs anymore
 I don't  feel young anymore
 And it's hard  to conceal
 That these tears that I cry are for real
Anymore
 same chords):
 My pop said I should be like him
 My mom says I can live with them
 I had to ask my little brother to lend me
 Change for the bus 'til I see him again
 I'm gettin’ drunk every day of the week
 My ship sunk but it had no leak
 A fortune teller on Bishop Street
 She read my hand and the future is bleak
 I'm tired of sitting upon the fence
 I've got no self confidence
 Why don't I have a circle of friends?
 I'm so square they don't even pretend
 And I don't  sing songs anymore
 I don't  feel young anymore
 And it's hard  to conceal
 That these tears that I cry are for real
 Anymore
 Don't give in,  don't give in
 You can never  let them win
 Don't give in,  don't give in
 But I get cold
 Oh I get  cold
 Every night,  night, night
 Without a prayer in my heart,  heart, heart
 Oh I get cold
 Yeah, I get cold
 Every night,  night, night
 Without a prayer in my heart,  heart, heart
 Oh no
 same chords):
Oh  what's wrong with me
  Said oh  Lord what's wrong with me
 I know what I don't wanna be
 A dead end on the family tree
 And the train  for my salvation
 Is de- parting  from the station
She  don't feel  like conversation
 So I'm talking  to myself
 I got nobody else
 I got my bottle  of booze  and my stale cigarettes
 Down from the shelf
 And I don't  sing songs anymore
 I don't  feel young anymore
 And it's hard  to conceal
 That these tears that I cry are for real
 Anymore
 Anymore
