[Verse 1]
Em Bm G C Em On the hottest night of the year Bm G C Lying in a patch of rho-, rhododendrons Em A bottle of whisky under my arm Bm Trying to count a sky full of stars G I dream of order, I dream of fleets C Of Napoleon in aquamarine Em He said "Linus, put that blanket down Bm You've slammed your door too many times" G He said "Linus, put that blanket down C The world won't wait"
[Chorus]
C Bm Boy, what you gonna do with your life D C Boy, what you gonna do with your life C Bm Boy, what you gonna do with your life D C Boy, what you gonna do with your life
[Verse 2]
Em Bm G C Em When I was your age, I was comman-, commanding fleets Bm G C When I was your age, I was soaked in victory Em And now you can't keep a job and you can't keep a wife Bm What a horrible mess you're gonna make of your life G Watched way too many American films C To be John Wayne, Brando or James Dean Em Waiting so long for your wrists to get thick Bm Waiting so long for the next great party G So many questions, so little to say C You don't need these weights
[Chorus]
C Bm Boy, what you gonna do with your life D C Boy, what you gonna do with your life C Bm Boy, what you gonna do with your life D Em Boy, what you gonna do with your life
[Bridge]
C Bm So you want to be an artist, want to be a singer D Em Want to be remembered for what you could create D Bm So you want to be a cowboy, ride into the distance D Em Never have to listen or answer to anyone C G So you want to be a boxer, surviving on your instincts D Em Relying on your fists and the quickness of your wit Am G Are you bigger than these buildings and the grey around you? D Em Is your pain more worthy than everybody else
[Outro]
C Bm Drunk again in the rhododendrons D Em Drunk again in the rhododendrons C Bm Drunk again in the rhododendrons D Em Drunk again in the rhododendrons C Bm Drunk again in the rhododendrons D Em Drunk again in the rhododendrons C Bm Drunk again in the rhododendrons D Em Drunk again in the rhododendrons
