The silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload,

And nobody's gonna go to school today, she’s gonna
E                 Gb
Make them stay at home,

He always said she was good as gold.

And it types to a waiting world,
           B                          Ebm
And Mother feels so shocked; Father's world is rocked,
          E                      Gb
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl.
E                        Gb
Sweet sixteen ain't that peachy keen,
       B                   E
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat,
         E                        E
They can see no reasons cos there are no reasons

And all the
B                        Ebm                  
Playing’s stopped in the playground, now. 
    E                      Gb    Gb Gb
She wants to play with her toys a while.
    B                      Ebm

With the problems and the how's and why's
           E                         E
And he can see no reasons, cos there are no reasons
     E                     Gb         Gb7
What reason do you need to die, die? Ooohh
