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       Cadd2/B        G  
Dooooo you remember when you were young

                   D                 C    Cadd2/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

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 Pre Chorus riff: G F# Chorus:(same chords) 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

              G
when you were young

                  D                C
And you wanted to set the world on fire

        Em
I was a teenage anarchist

But then the scene got too rigid

        G
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 Pre Chorus riff: 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
