Intro: E B A [x3] B F#m E
When all is said and done
We re not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That s what the old folks say
But every time I d see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I d have more fun
Guess I d have more fun
Break: E D A
The catcher in the rye again
Won t let you get away from him
It s just another day like today
You decide cause I don t have to
Then they will find and I won t ask you
At anytime or long hereafter
If the cold s outside as I m imagining
It .... to be

Na na na na...

The catcher in the rye again
Won t let you get away from him
It s just another day like today
When all is said and done
We re not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That s what the young folks say
And if they d ever change
That s not who am I to say
But every time I d see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I d have more fun
Cause what used to be s not there for me
And ought to find someone that belongs insane like I do
E G#m C#m A [x2]
Na na na na...
On an ordinary day
Not in an ordinary way
All at once the song I heard
No longer wouldn t play
For anybody
Or anyone
That needed comfort from somebody
Needed comfort from someone
Who cared
To be
Not like you
And unlike me
And then the voices ran away
From me
So now you set the wheels in motion
It haunts our memories
You were the instrument
You were the one
How a body took a body
And gave that boy a gun
You took our innocence
Beyond our stares
Sometimes the only thing you got at all
When no one else is there
Ah ah ah ah...
E [for 3 bars]
