Chords

[Verse 1]
G
Everybody's talking 'bout the stormy weather

                                                 D   Am
And what's a man do to but work out whether it's true

G
Looking for a man with a focus and a temper

                                              D   Am
Who can open up a map and see between one and two
[Chorus]
G                                 D          G
Time to get it, before you let it get to you

G                                         D               G
Here he comes now, stick to your guns and let him through
[Verse 2]
G
Everybody's coming from the winter vacation

                                     D   Am
Taking in the sun in a exaltation to you

G
You come running in on platform shoes

                                                D   Am
With Marshall stacks to at least just give us a clue
[Verse 3]
G                                        D   Am
Ah, here it comes, I know it's someone I knew

G
Teenage riot in a public station

                                                 D   Am
Gonna fight and tear it up in a hyper nation for you
[Chorus]
G                                   D              G
Now I see it, I think I'll leave it out of the way

G                                              D             G
Now I come near you and it's not clear why you make the away
[Verse 4]
G
Looking for a ride to a secret location

                                                       D   Am
Where the kids are setting up a free-speed nation, for you

G
Got a foghorn and a drum and a hammer that's rockin'

                                                  D   Am
And a cord and a pedal and a lock, that'll do for now
[Verse 5]
G                                          D   Am
It better work out, I hope it works out my way

G
'Cause it's getting kind of quiet in my city ahead

                                                    D   Am
It takes a teen age riot to get me out of bed right now
[Chorus]
G                                        D         G
You better look it, we're gonna shake it up to him

G                                 D            G
He acts the hero, we paint a zero on his hand
[Verse 6]
G                                         D    Am
We know it's down, we know it's bound too loose

G
Everybody's sound is 'round it

                               D     Am
Everybody wants to be proud to choose

G
So who's to blame for the stormy weather

                                                    D    Am
You're never gonna stop all the teenage leather and booze
[Outro]
G                                                    D           G
It's time to go 'round, a one man showdown, teach us how to fail

G                                                      D         G
We're off the streets now and back on the road, on the riot trail
