               C

[Verse1]Got a lot of memories tied up in this place 

               F                 C
	So much time spent in so little space 

           C
	What looked like the world through the eyes of a child 

           G
	Kind of closes in on you after awhile 

                         Am                      C
	It's a place to grow up and a place to grow old 

                        F                         C
	You keep your mouth shut and you do what you're told 

                  C         
	I told mama the day that I ran 

                      G              C
	This ain't no place for an angry young man 

              F               C
	  Mama if you could see me right now

              F               C
	  You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 

               Am           F
  	  Mama you never could understand 

                G              C
	  There ain't no peace for an angry young man
F - C - G - C
                C
	A cheap hotel a long way from my home 

             F                   C
	So many people make you feel so alone

            C
	Dreams die easy out here in these streets

           G
	And hearts grow cold in the city heat 

                     Am             C
	I ain't never been the patient kind 

                 F                  C
	I got to live like I please or die tryin'

                 C
	At a filling station with a gun in my hand

                      G          C
	The only way for an angry young man 

                F                C
 	  Mama if you could see me right now

                F                C
	  You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 

                Am               F
  	  Mama you never could understand 

                G                C
	  There ain't no peace for an angry young man
F - C - G - C
             C
	Got a lot of memories tied up in this place

             F                       C
	Tonight they're starin' me right in the face

             C
	A lonely grave on the outskirts of town

             G
	It's three in the morning, ain't no one around 

                      Am              C
	Just like a ghost I come out of the night

                      F               C
	But I'll be gone before the morning light

               C
	Mama I hope that you understand

               G                C
        This ain't no place for an angry young man

                F                C
 	  Mama if you could see me right now

                F                C
	  You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 

                Am               F
  	  Mama you never could understand 

                G                C
	  There ain't no peace for an angry young man

                F                C
 	  Mama if you could see me right now

                F                C
	  You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 

                Am               F
  	  Mama you never could understand 

                G                C
	  There ain't no peace for an angry young man
