Factions

Intro: D   /   C   /   G   repeat

      A      Bm
She grew out of her pants, she's a little too advanced
              G
She's the daughter of rock 'n' roll
A         Bm
She's a lot more aware of the things that weren't there
               G
Before the light of the music made them show

      F#
She performs and she struts and she really knows her stuff
                                          D - B - D - B
She really knows her rock 'n' roll
           F#
She performed and she strutted and she showed all that she studied
                                            D - B - D - B
She really showed her rock 'n' roll

He made this feeble attempt to express his contempt, he said
'The music's just too loud to hear!'
She said, 'Go on, take a walk, you're just too dumb to talk,
'Where you been hiding for the last fifteen years?'

So he rebels and he sweats and he watches while she heads
To the jun gles of rock 'n' roll
Yes he rebelled and he sweated; he was sure that she was headed
To the jungles of the rock 'n' roll

D                            C G
What are you gonna do with all the new
F#                                     D - B - D - B
Information rock 'n' roll has taught you
             D                           C G
Yeah but how are we gonna be? What will we ever see?
       F#                                                D - B - D - B
Without the information that rock 'n' roll points to

INTRO

She likes the flash and the dazzle but he thinks it's just a hassle
So the chasm grows a little every year
She keeps goin' out to boogie while he stays at home and studies
And neither one is smart enough to share

And it seems kind of bad that they both feel misled
Just because of rock 'n' roll
When all they got to do is give each other room
Just like it says in rock 'n' roll

Chorus

Outro: D   /   C   /   G   /   F#   /   D - B - D - B
