Teddy

A     D        A
Everybody talks sarcastic
A     D        A
Everybody's in the know
A         D        A
I think I might do something drastic
              E                      D          A
If they don't let me go away from it all

      D              A
But I can't afford a jet plane
A        D              A
And the price of gas is high
A          D               A
There's nowhere that I can run to
        E               D       E
When I feel so sick and shy
                              A
Gonna make a big noise to the sky

A   E       D       E         A
Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll
A   E       D       E         A
Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll
A   E       D           E         A
And if she smiles at me in the snow
A   E       D       E         A
Baby, I'm ready to rock, rock and roll

A     D                A
And I whispered that I loved her
A      D             A
In the ancient photo booth
A          D                A
She's just got one of those faces
      E          D
That demands the truth
      E               A
She likes Ted Hawkins too

A       D                A
And the truth is just a mole rat
A        D              A
Crawling underneath the earth
A        D              A       E        D
It is naked and it's gnawing away at the world
        E                   A
And it hurts so bad I could cry

A         D              A
But they don't allow no crying
A        D                    A
In the cold straight world of men
A        D           A
So I build my little fortress
A          E     D
'Til I can get even

A   E       D       E         A
Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll
A   E       D       E         A
Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll
A  E      D          E     A
I can see now, she's an angel
A   E      D         E     A
Flying in my bedroom window
A   E         D            E                  A
I'm ready to rock and roll, ready to rock and roll
