Verse:
G G Em Em Am Am
Was an honest man
D D D D
Asked me for the phone
D D D D
Tried to take control
C C
Oh I don't see it that way
Am Am
I don't see it that way

We shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Pre-CHORUS:
G G Em Em
Raised in Carolina
Bm Bm D D
I'm not like that
G G Em Em
Tryin' to remind her
Bm Bm D D
When we go back

CHORUS:
G G
I missed the last bus
G G
I'll take the next train
Bm Bm
I try, but you see
Am Am
It's hard to explain
G G
I said the right things
G G
But act the wrong way
Bm Bm
I like it right here
Am Am
But I cannot stay
G G
I watched the TV
G G
Forget what I'm told
Bm Bm
Well I am too young
Am Am
And they are too old
G G
The joke is on you
G G
This place is a zoo
Bm Bm
You're right, it's true

Break. (like the intro kinda)

Verse:

He said he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everythings just great
Oh I just can't remember
I just can't remember
Pre-CHORUS:
Raised in Carolina (she says)
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back
CHORUS:
I say the right things
But act the wrong way
I like it right here
But I cannot stay
I watched the TV
Forget what I'm told
I am too young
And they are too old
I'll make it you see
I'm ever so pleased
Pretend to be nice
So I can be mean
I missed the last bus
I'll take the next train
I try, but you see
It's hard to explain

The Bm doesn't sound completely right on the prechorus but the rest is spot on.
