I know that I will never be politically correct
Bm G A D Bm G A D
And I don't give a damn about my lack of etiquette
Bm G A D Bm G D A
As far as I'm concerned, the world could still be flat
Bm G A D
And if the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back
Bm G A G
If the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back
Who am I? Why am I here? Forget the questions, someone gimme another beer
What's the meaning of life, what's the meaning of it all?

You got your weapons cocked
G A
Your targets in your sights
D/A A7 G A Bm
There's a party raging somewhere in the world

Wasted youth! Wasted youth! reckless just do little slides and stuff,
don't play the actual chords unless you
want to
G/B A Bm
They got a file on me and it's a mile long
Em/B
And they say that they got all of the proof
A#dim/B
That I'm just another case of arrested development
G/B A/B
And just another wasted youth
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/meat-loaf/24944.html ]
They say that I'm in need of some radical discipline
They say I gotta face the truth
That I'm just another case of arrested development
And just another wasted youth
A G D
They say I'm wild and I'm reckless
G D
I should be acting my age
Bm F#m
I'm an impressionable child in a tumultuous world
C/G A
And they say I'm at a difficult stage
D G
But it seems to me to the contrary
D A
Of all the crap they're going to put on the page
B5 G5 A5 D5 there are six "wasted youths" and it
That a wasted youth is better by far goes (by ending chords)
G5 A5 B5 A5 A5 D5 A5 D5 A5 A
Than a wise and productive old age (so in order, 1 2 1 2 1 3)
B5 G5 A5 D5
That a wasted youth is better by far
G5 A5 B5 D5
Than a wise and productive old age
B5 G5 A5 D5
That a wasted youth is better by far
G5 A5 G A
Than a wise and productive old age
from here until Mo, just strike each note once and mute it right away
Bm G A D
If you want my views of history then there's something you should know
Bm G A D
The three men I admire most are Curly, Larry and Mo!
Bm G A D
If you don't worry 'bout the future, sooner or later it's the past
Bm G A D
And if they say the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back
Bm G A D
If the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back
again palm mute this
So sign up all you raw recruits, throw away all those two-bit suits
You got your weapons cocked, your targets in your sights
There's a party raging somewhere in the world
You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl
You're all inducted in the armies of the night
And I ain't in it for the power, and I ain't in it for the health
I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all
And I sure ain't in it for the wealth
But I'm in it till it's over and I just can't stop
If you wanna get it done, you gotta fight for yourself
And I like my music like I like my life
Everything louder than everything else
this is repeated a bunch of times, and the first 6 times through (listen you'll
hear) are just bass and stuff, after that guitar comes in...try some weird stuff
add slides after the A is played, or play the a as X-12-14-14-14-12, then play
the D A and G one octave up as bar chords, stuff like that
FINAL RIFF (for bagpipes)
G---12--13--10--12--8----10-8-10-12----12--13--10--12--8----10-8-7-8
have fun, this is one of the best songs in creation
again i take no credit nor blame for chords, i gave instructions and the riff and
i think that's in the wrong key but the intervals are right
PEACE OUT
