As recorded by The Who (From the 2019 Album WHO) [Intro] Eb F x3 Eb N.C. [Verse 1]
N.C.   F
He was drunk, I was blind

          Bb          C
Though we tried to be kind

      F
I was sunk, always late

        Bb       F C
We  were  quick to rotate

         Dm             C
Let's  be blunt, I was a bluff

           Bb            F
And  the surreal life was tough

        Dm            C
I was a runt, we told lies

       Eb
But to our great surprise
[Pre-Chorus]
        Gm7          C
All the shit that we did

                Gm7      C
Brought us some money, I guess

          Gm7          C
And those snotty young kids

       Gm          C
Were a standing success

          Bb          F
Helped us conquer and rise

       Bb              C
And we learned in this hell
[Chorus]
N.C.               F
We don't wanna get wise

F
(I don't wanna get wise

F
I don't wanna get wise)

                Eb    N.C.
Life teaches us well
[Interlude] Eb F Eb [Verse 2]
Eb       F
We still pull, we get smug

       Bb         C
And we all like a drug

     F
Over full, always sated

Bb         F C
Puffed up, elated

        Dm         C
Let's admit our mistakes

         Dm            F
Are what triggered our breaks

          Dm             C
We were shits, oh, no disguise

       Eb
And it is no surprise
[Pre-Chorus]
         Gm7          C
That the crap that we did

           Gm7        C
Brought us money, God bless

          Gm7          C
And those snotty young kids

       Gm          C
Were a standing success

          Bb          F
Helped us conquer and rise

       Bb              C
And we learned in this hell
[Chorus]
N.C.                F
We didn't wanna get wise

F
(I don't wanna get wise

F
I don't wanna get wise)

                Eb   N.C.
Life teaches us well
[Bridge]
Eb              Dm7
Experiment, you universe

Cm7               Bb
We'll ask why you choose to curse

                   Ab
Why set a fire you plan to douse?

C                               Eb
Why set a rat to catch a mouse?
[Verse 3]
       F
He was drunk (he was drunk), I was blind (he was blind)

          Bb          C
Though we tried to be kind

      F
I was sunk (he was sunk), he was late (always late)

        Bb         C
We were quick to rotate

         Dm           C
We tried hard to stay young

        Bb              F
But the high notes were sung

           Dm                  C
We've been scarred, we've been prized

              Eb              F
But you could see in our eyes
[Chorus]
