There’s a place in the world

for the an-gry young man

With his work-ing class ties

-6 -6 -6 6 6 6
and his rad-i-cal plans

He re-fuses to bend, he re-fus-es to crawl

Verse 2 same as 1
Give a moment or two to the angry young man
With his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand
He’s been stabbed in the back, he’s been misunderstood
It’s a comfort to know his intentions are good
He sits in a room with a lock on the door
With his maps and his medals laid out of the floor
And he likes to be known as the angry young man.

I be-lieve I’ve passed the age of

6 6 6 6 6 -5 -5
Con-scious-ness and right-eous rage,

-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5
I found that just sur-viv-ing

5 -4 -4 4 4
was a no-ble fight

5 5 5 5 5 5 -5 -5
I once be-lieved in cau-ses too,

-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 6 -2
had my point-less point of view and

6 6 6 6 6 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4
Life went on no mat-ter who was wrong or right

VERSE 3 samea s 1
And there’s always a place for the angry young man
With his fist in the air and his head in the sand
He’s never been able to learn from mistakes
He can’t understand why his heart always breaks
His honor is pure, and his courage as well
He’s fair and he’s true, and he’s boring as hell
And he’ll go to his grave as an angry old man.

(Repeat 1st Verse)
