Intro
C Am G F G G7
C Am G F G G7
[Verse]
C Am G
As far as I could tell
F G G7
I was the center of the universe
F G G7
The favorite stepchild of our Mother Earth
C G/B Am
And every camera's dream
[Verse]
C Am G
'Til something broke the spell
F G G7
And the cold hard facts I was hiding from
F G G7
Were at the mercy of the pendulum
C G/B Am Am/G
And I was smashed to smithereens
[Prechorus]
D7/F# C
Let's try and have some fun tonight
Fm C F G
Let's act like we got nowhere else to be
[Chorus]
C Am G F G
Like we're just as young as we used to be
C Am G F G
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Break]
C Am G F G G7
[Verse]
C Am G
Documents and names
F G G7
An eye twitch away from what they really mean
F G G7
In the shadow world of the in-betweens
C G/B Am
That surrounds us on all sides
[Verse]
C Am G
You can look the other way
F G G7
In fact, that's all I did until recently
F G G7
'Til the expiration of my amnesty
C G/B Am Am/G
Left me nowhere else to hide
[Prechorus]
D7/F# C
Let's try and have some fun tonight
Fm C F G
Let's act it could always be this good
[Chorus]
C Am G F G
Like we're just as young as we used to be
C Am G F G
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Bridge]
Dm Am
A flatlining learning curve
F C
On the last leg with low reserves
Dm Am
A desperado that lost his nerve
F
Trying now to serve
G G7
Teach me how to serve
[Chorus]
C Am G F G
'Cause we're not as young as we used to be
C Am G F G
And it goes for everyone but me especially
[Chorus]
C Am G F G
'Cause we're not as young as we used to be
(Why am I still the youngest guy my age? Why am I still reading the same page?)
C Am G F
And it goes for everyone but me especially
(I know it's hard for everyone)
G
And you especially
[Outro]
