[Intro] G [Verse]
G
I was a teenage anarchist
Looking for a revolution
          Em
I had the style, I had the ambition
Read all the authors I knew the right slogans
              G                
There was no war but the class war
I was ready to set the world on fire
         E           
I was a teenage anarchist
Looking for a revolution [Chorus]
G    D     C       G/B            G  
Dooooo you remember when you were young

                   D                 C    G/B    
And you wanted to set the world on fire
Dooooo you remember when you were young And you wanted to set the world on fire [Verse]
G        
I was a teenage anarchist
But the politics were too convenient
       Em
In the depths of their humanity
All I saw was bloodless ideology
     G
With freedom as their doctrine
Guess who was the new authority
        Em
I was a teenage anarchist
But the politics were too convenient [Instrumental] G F# [Chorus]
G    D     C       G/B            G  
Dooooo you remember when you were young

                   D                 C    G/B    
And you wanted to set the world on fire
Dooooo you remember when you were young And you wanted to set the world on fire [Verse] G
        Em
I was a teenage anarchist
But then the scene got too rigid
        Am
It was mob mentality
They set their rifle sights on me
        C
Narrow visions of autonomy
You want me to surrender my identity
        D
I was a teenage anarchist
[stop] The revolution was a lie [Instrumental] G F# [Chorus] Dooooo you remember when you were young And you wanted to set the world on fire Dooooo you remember when you were young And you wanted to set the world on fire when you were young And you wanted to set the world on fire when you were young And you wanted to set the world on fire [Outro] (4x)
