E
When all is said and done
F#m
We're not the only ones
E
Who look at life this way
F#m
That's what the old folks say
 
    B
But every time I'd see them
         A
Makes me wish I had a gun
     B
If I thought that I was crazy
       A
Well I guess I'd have more fun
 
E                        D A
Guess I'd have more fun

Abm                C#m
The catcher in the rye again
Abm                A
Won't let you get away from him
                  F#m        E
It's just another day like today
 
F#m       Abm     A
You decide 'cause I don't have to
F#m                Abm  A
Then they will find and I won't ask you
F#m       Abm A
At anytime or long hereafter
F#m                  Abm A
If the cold's outside as I'm imagining
F#m     Abm A        F#m     Abm A
It ....           to be
 
Abm

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