[A5] [B5] [D5] [E5]

Went to [A5]school, I studied
And I got my G.C.E. 
My [B5]City and Guilds and my Sky Diary
But it [D5]didn't do me no good
They [E5]didn't like my looks,
So I burnt my books

[A5]25 years doesn't matter anymore
I [B5]stand around the streets
And lie around the floor
[D5]looking at the sky 
I [E5]watch the world go by

[A5] 25 years
[B5] 25 years
[D5] 25 years
[E5] 25 years

I [A5]started out one day
And I worked in a factory
My [B5]mind went blank,
I needed a battery
[D5]Didn't do me no good
[E5] I got the sack,
My work was slack

They [A5]said there's life up there in the galaxy
The [B5]world's in collision
There's people with an allergy
[D5]25 years of,
25 years of,
[E5]25 years of social research

[A5]25 years doesn't matter anymore
I [B5]stand around the streets
And lie around the floor
[D5]looking at the sky 
I [E5]watch the world go by

[A5]25 years
[G5]25 years 
[A5]25 years
[G5]25 years
