Fmaj7/G        G7
Why should I care?
A9sus4/G      Am/G D7sus4/G G C
Why should I care?

 G
Girls of fifteen (Sexually knowing)
    F            C         G
The ushers are sniffing (Eau-de-coloning)
     G
The seats are seductive (Celibate sitting)
        F     C         G
Pretty girls digging (Prettier women)

 C         F          C7           F
Magically bored on a quiet street corner
  C        F             C7            F
Free frustration in our minds and our toes
 C           F         C7      F
Quiet storm water, m-m-my generation
C7          F       C7                 G
Uppers and downers, either way blood flows

Chorus:
 F       A#        F         A#
(Inside, outside) Leave me alone
 F       A#        F          A#
(Inside, outside) Nowhere is home
 F       A#         F           A#
(Inside, outside) Where have I been?
F                               G
Out of my brain on the five fifteen
 F          C            G
Out of my brain on the train
            F  C         G
Out of my brain on the train

A raft in the quarry (Slowly sinking)
Back of a lorry (Holy hitching)
Dreadfully sorry (Apple scrumping)
Born in the war (Birthday punching)

He man drag in a glittering ballroom
Greyly outrageous in my high heel shoes
Tightly undone, know what they're showing
Sadly ecstatic that their heros are news

Chorus:
(Inside, outside) Leave me alone
(Inside, outside) Nowhere is home
(Inside, outside) Where have I been?
Out of my brain on the five fifteen
Out of my brain on the train
Out of my brain on the train,
on the train, wow, I’m out of my brain

Why should I care?
Why should I care?
