Intro
D Bm A G A A7
D Bm A G A A7
[Verse]
D Bm A
As far as I could tell
G A A7
I was the center of the universe
G A A7
The favorite stepchild of our Mother Earth
D A/C# Bm
And every camera's dream
[Verse]
D Bm A
'Til something broke the spell
G A A7
And the cold hard facts I was hiding from
G A A7
Were at the mercy of the pendulum
D A/C# Bm Bm/A
And I was smashed to smithereens
[Prechorus]
E7/G# D
Let's try and have some fun tonight
Gm D G A
Let's act like we got nowhere else to be
[Chorus]
D Bm A G A
Like we're just as young as we used to be
D Bm A G A
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Break]
D Bm A G A A7
[Verse]
D Bm A
Documents and names
G A A7
An eye twitch away from what they really mean
G A A7
In the shadow world of the in-betweens
D A/C# Bm
That surrounds us on all sides
[Verse]
D Bm A
You can look the other way
G A A7
In fact, that's all I did until recently
G A A7
'Til the expiration of my amnesty
D A/C# Bm Bm/A
Left me nowhere else to hide
[Prechorus]
E7/G# D
Let's try and have some fun tonight
Gm D G A
Let's act it could always be this good
[Chorus]
D Bm A G A
Like we're just as young as we used to be
D Bm A G A
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Bridge]
Em Bm
B flatlining learning curve
G D
On the last leg with low reserves
Em Bm
B desperado that lost his nerve
G
Trying now to serve
A A7
Teach me how to serve
[Chorus]
D Bm A G A
'Cause we're not as young as we used to be
D Bm A G A
And it goes for everyone but me especially
[Chorus]
D Bm A G A
'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?)
D Bm A G
And it goes for everyone but me especially
(I know it's hard for everyone)
A
And you especially
[Outro]
D Bm A G A A7
