Intro: F Bb F Bb

Verse 1:
          F            Bb
Well I've made so many new friends
          Dm               Bb
With open arms they let me in
                 F               Bb
They say they'll be with me till the end
                 Dm                      Bb
They say they'll stick through thick and thin
           Gm            F
It's gonna happen, in 1997

Chorus:
                      Gm
The crowd you like is dangerous
                        Dm
I heard they're just no good
                    Bb                                F
I'd rather have you stay at home now like a good boy should
                       Gm
I heard they can't be trusted
                      Dm
I heard they all wear white
                    Bb                                     G
I'd rather have you prove me wrong than go and prove me right

Verse 2:
                           C
Mama, please don't make it harder

Interlude: F Bb F Bb

              F            Bb
Well, it's tough to love another
           Dm               Bb
And it's hard to find a friend
         F               Bb
Somebody else who has no others
         Dm             Bb
Somebody else who understands
         Gm            F
Then it happened, in 1997

Chorus:
                      Gm
The crowd you like is dangerous
                        Dm
I heard they're just no good
                    Bb                                F
I'd rather have you stay at home now like a good boy should
                       Gm
I heard they can't be trusted
                      Dm
I heard they all wear white
                     Bb                                  G
I'd rather have you prove me wrong than go and prove me right

Verse 3:
                           C
Mama, please don't make it harder

Interlude: F Bb F Bb

           F            Bb
Well, I've made so many new friends
                 F               Bb
They say they'll be with me till the end
               Gm           F
And it's gonna happen in 1997
