[Verse 1]  
[G] [Em] [Am]  
Was an honest man  
[D] [D]  
Asked me for the phone  
[D] [D]  
Tried to take control  
[C]  
Oh, I don't see it that way  
[Am]  
I don't see it that way  

[G] [Em] [Am]  
We shared some ideas  
[D] [D]  
All obsessed with fame  
[D] [D]  
Says we're all the same  
[C]  
I don't see it that way  
[Am]  
I don't see it that way  

[Pre-Chorus]  
[G]             [Em]  
Raised in Carolina  
[Bm]      [D]  
I'm not like that  
[G]           [Em]  
Tryin' to remind her  
[Bm]      [D]  
When we go back  

[Chorus]  
[G]  
I missed the last bus  
[G]  
I'll take the next train  
[Bm]  
I try, but you see  
[Am]  
It's hard to explain  
[G]  
I said the right things  
[G]  
But act the wrong way  
[Bm]  
I like it right here  
[Am]  
But I cannot stay  
[G]  
I watched the TV  
[G]  
Forget what I'm told  
[Bm]  
Well, I am too young  
[Am]  
And they are too old  
[G]  
The joke is on you  
[G]  
This place is a zoo  
[Bm]  
You're right, it's true  

[Verse 2]  
[G] [Em] [Am]  
He said he can't decide  
[D] [D]  
I shake my head to say  
[D] [D]  
Everything's just great  
[C]  
Oh, I just can't remember  
[Am]  
I just can't remember  

[Pre-Chorus]  
[G]             [Em]  
Raised in Carolina (she says)  
[Bm]      [D]  
I'm not like that  
[G]           [Em]  
Tryin' to remind her  
[Bm]      [D]  
When we go back  

[Chorus]  
[G]  
I said the right things  
[G]  
But act the wrong way  
[Bm]  
I like it right here  
[Am]  
But I cannot stay  
[G]  
I watched the TV  
[G]  
Forget what I'm told  
[Bm]  
I am too young  
[Am]  
And they are too old  
[G]  
I'll make it you see  
[G]  
I'm ever so pleased  
[Bm]  
Pretend to be nice  
[Am]  
So I can be mean  
[G]  
I missed the last bus  
[G]  
I'll take the next train  
[Bm]  
I try, but you see  
[Am]  
It's hard to explain
