David Bowie - Teenage Wildlife: Ukulele Chords

       G#                       C#
Well, how come you only want tomorrow
     G#                               C#
With its promise of something hard to do
   G#                                  D#
A real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold
 F#                                     C#
Blue skies above and sun on your arms strength in your stride
     G#                          D#
And hope in those squeaky clean eyes

            F#
You'll get chilly receptions everywhere you go
 C#             G#               D#
Blinded with desire - guess the season is on
        G#
So you train by the shadow boxing,
                 C#
search for the truth
But it's all, but it's all used up
      G#
Break open your million dollar weapon
               C#
And push your luck, still you push,
still you push your luck
   G#
A broken nosed mogul are you
            D#
One of the new wave boys

 F#
Same old thing in brand new drag
 C#                  G#      D#
Comes sweeping into view, oh-ooh
  F#
As ugly as a teenage millionaire
   C#                        G#
Pretending it's a whizz kid world
                D#
You'll take me aside, and say

       F#
"well David, what shall I do?"
     C#
They wait for me in the hallway"
          G#                             C#
I'll say "dont ask me, I don't know any hallways"
          G#                          D#
But they move in numbers and they've got me in a corne
   A#
I feel like a group of one, no-no
      C#
They can't do this to me
Fm                             G#     C# G#
I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife

Those midwives to history put on their bloody robes
And the word is that the hunted one is out there on his own
And you're alone for maybe the last time
And you breathe for a long time
Then you howl like a wolf in a trap
And you daren't look behind

You fall to the ground like a leaf from the tree
And look up one time at that vast blue sky
Scream out aloud as they shoot you down
No, no

I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife
I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife

And no one will have seen and no one will confess
The fingerprints will prove that you couldn't pass the test
There'll be others on the line filing past
Who'll whisper low I miss you he really had to go
Well, each to his own,
he was another piece of teenage wildlife
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Another piece of teenage wildlife, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Another piece of teenage wild... life

Wild...
Wild... life
