[Intro]

(Ah, ah)

(Ah, ah)

(Ah-ah, ah-ah) Ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah

[Verse 1]

When all is said and done, we're not the only ones

Who look at life this way, that's what the old folks say

But every time I'd see them makes me wish I had a gun

If I thought that I was crazy, well, I guess I'd have more fun

Guess I'd have more fun

[Pre-Chorus]

Ah, na-na

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]

Ooh, the Catcher in the Rye again (Ah-ah)

Ooh, won't let you get away from him (Oh-woah-woah

It's just another day like today

[Bridge]

You decide 'cause I won't have to

And then they'll find and I won't ask you

At any time or long hereafter

If the cold outside is as I'm imagining

It to be

Oh, oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]

La, la-la-la, la, la, la-la

La-la-na, na-na, na-na

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus

Ooh, la, la-la

Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]

Ooh, the Catcher in the Rye again

Ooh, won't let you get away from him (Woah, no, no)

It's just another day like today (Ah-ah-ah, today)

[Verse 2]

When all is said and done, we're not the only ones (Ah-ah)

Who look at life this way, that's what the young folks say (Ooh, oh, ooh)

As if they'd ever change as that were mine to say (Ooh, oh, ah-ah)

But every time I'd see them makes me wish I had a gun (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

If I thought that I was crazy, well, I guess I'd have more fun (Ah-ah)

'Cause what used to be's not there for me

And ought to for someone that belonged (Ah-ah)

Insane, like I do

[Interlude]

(La, la-la-la, la, la, la-la) Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

(La-la-la, la-la, la-la) Na-na, na-na, na-na

(La, la-la-la, la, la, la-la) Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

(La-la-la, la-la, la-la) Oh, no, na-na, na-na

[Outro]

On an ordinary day, not in an ordinary way

All at once, the song I heard, no longer would it play

For anybody or anyone

That needed comfort from somebody

Needed comfort from someone

Who cared to be not like you and unlike me

And then the voices slipped away from me

Somehow, you set the wheels in motion, and haunts our memories

You were the instrument, you were the one

How a body, took a body, you gave that boy a gun

You took our innocence beyond our stares

Sometimes, the only thing we counted on when no one else was there

Ah-ah

Ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

La-na, la-na, na-na
