[Verse 1]
    E          B
Her name is Noelle,
E            A
I have a dream about her.
E             B
She rings my bell.
      E              A
I got gym class in half an hour.
E            B
Oh, how she rocks,
   E              A
In keds and tube socks,
    C#m          A          B
But she doesn't know who I am,
    C#m          A      B
And she doesn't give a damn about me.

[Chorus 1]

'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
      E          A         B      C#m     G#m
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.

Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me.

[Verse 2]
    E           B
Her boyfriend's a dick
E            A
and he brings a gun to school,
E             B
And he'd simply kick
  E              A
My ass if he knew the truth.
E            B
He lives on my block
E            A
And he drives an Iroc
    C#m          A          B
But he doesn't know who I am,
    C#m          A          B
And he doesn't give a damn about me.

[Chorus 2]
       E          A         B      C#m    G#m
'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
      E          A         B      C#m     G#m
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
E         A       B    C#m   G#m   E  A (6/4) B C#m G#m A B
Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me.

[Verse 3]
E             B
Man, I feel like mold,
  E              A
It's prom night and I am lonely.
E             B
Lo and behold:
  E              A
She's walking over to me.
E             B
This must be fake,
  E              A
My lip starts to shake.
C#m          A          B
How does she know who I am?
    C#m          A          B
And why does she give a damn about me?

             E          A      B      C#m    G#m
I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby.
E              A       B        C#m     G#m
Come with me Friday, don't say maybe.
E           A       B       C#m G#m  E  A (6/4) B C#m G#m A B
I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby like you.
