And if the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back

Wasted youth! Wasted youth!
G/B A Bm
They got a file on me and it's a mile long
Em/B
And they say that they got all of the proof
A#º/B
That I'm just another case of arrested development

And just another wasted youth
They say that I'm in need of some radical discipline

They say I'm wild and I'm reckless

I should be acting my age
Bm F#m
I'm an impressionable child in a tumultuous world

The three men I admire most are Curly, Larry and Mo!
Bm G A D
If you don't worry 'bout the future, sooner or later it's the past
Bm G A D
And if they say the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back
Bm G A D
If the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back
So sign up all you raw recruits, throw away all those two-bit suits
