Verse

B      G#m          F#
 Use a pen to reflect
                E
what you've got left to protect
G#m      F#        E
  on the old dusty shelves

in your childhood room
B            G#m            F#
 you've got a lot to go on:
           E
posters of Simon LeBon
G#m         F#       E
  all might help you decide

In case you ever try

B          G#m         F#
 They just want you to come by

We’d give it all to be that dumb again
