G
[Verse1]Got a lot of memories tied up in this place
C G
So much time spent in so little space
G
What looked like the world through the eyes of a child
D
Kind of closes in on you after awhile
Em G
It's a place to grow up and a place to grow old
C G
You keep your mouth shut and you do what you're told
G
I told mama the day that I ran
D G
This ain't no place for an angry young man
C G
Mama if you could see me right now
C G
You'd be so sure you failed me somehow
Em C
Mama you never could understand
D G
There ain't no peace for an angry young man
C - G - D - G
G
A cheap hotel a long way from my home
C G
So many people make you feel so alone
G
Dreams die easy out here in these streets
D
And hearts grow cold in the city heat
Em G
I ain't never been the patient kind
C G
I got to live like I please or die tryin'
G
At a filling station with a gun in my hand
D G
The only way for an angry young man
C G
Mama if you could see me right now
C G
You'd be so sure you failed me somehow
Em C
Mama you never could understand
D G
There ain't no peace for an angry young man
C - G - D - G
G
Got a lot of memories tied up in this place
C G
Tonight they're starin' me right in the face
G
A lonely grave on the outskirts of town
D
It's three in the morning, ain't no one around
Em G
Just like a ghost I come out of the night
C G
But I'll be gone before the morning light
G
Mama I hope that you understand
D G
This ain't no place for an angry young man
C G
Mama if you could see me right now
C G
You'd be so sure you failed me somehow
Em C
Mama you never could understand
D G
There ain't no peace for an angry young man
C G
Mama if you could see me right now
C G
You'd be so sure you failed me somehow
Em C
Mama you never could understand
D G
There ain't no peace for an angry young man
