Bm
down on my knees I'm begging you

Em
down on my knees I'm begging you

F#m
down on my knees I'm begging you...

Bm
...please, please don't leave me!

do you really think she can love you more than me?
do you really, really think so?

do you really think she can give you more than me?
baby I know she won't

cause I loved you unconditionally
I gave you even more than I had to give

I was willing for you to die
cause you were more precious to me than my own life

down on my knees I'm begging you
down on my knees I'm begging you
down on my knees I'm begging you...

...please, please don't leave me!

I won't believe
that you really really
wanna leave me just because of her

have you forgot about
all the things
weve been thru
she was not the 1 who was there for you

I loved you unconditionally
I gave you even more than I had to give

I was willing for you to die
cause you were more precious to me than my own life

down on my knees I'm begging you
down on my knees I'm begging you
down on my knees I'm begging you...

...please, please don't leave me!

CHORUS
     D            Em7               G            D
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
          D       G                Asus4
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
      D        Em7       Bm                 G
I was born too late to a world that doesn’t care
     D            Em7               G            D
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

D
When the head of state didn’t play guitar,
    Em7
Not everybody drove a car,
     A                         Em7*      D
When music really mattered and radio was king,
D
When accountants didn’t have control
        Em7
And the media couldn’t buy your soul
       A                              Em7*              D
And computers were still scary and we didn’t know everything

Chorus

When popstars still remained a myth
And ignorance could still be bliss
And when God saved the Queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
When my mom and dad were in their teen
and anarchy was still a dream
and the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail

Chorus

When record shops were on top
and vinyl was all that they stocked
and the super-info highway was still drifting out in space
kids were wearing hand me downs,
and playing games meant kick arounds
and footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face

Chorus

      D        Em7       Bm                 G
I was born too late to a world that doesn’t care
     D            Em7               G            D
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
