Intro
B G#m F# E F# F#7
B G#m F# E F# F#7
[Verse]
B G#m F#
As far as I could tell
E F# F#7
I was the center of the universe
E F# F#7
The favorite stepchild of our Mother Earth
B F#/A# G#m
And every camera's dream
[Verse]
B G#m F#
'Til something broke the spell
E F# F#7
And the cold hard facts I was hiding from
E F# F#7
Were at the mercy of the pendulum
B F#/A# G#m G#m/F#
And I was smashed to smithereens
[Prechorus]
C#7/F B
Let's try and have some fun tonight
Em B E F#
Let's act like we got nowhere else to be
[Chorus]
B G#m F# E F#
Like we're just as young as we used to be
B G#m F# E F#
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Break]
B G#m F# E F# F#7
[Verse]
B G#m F#
Documents and names
E F# F#7
An eye twitch away from what they really mean
E F# F#7
In the shadow world of the in-betweens
B F#/A# G#m
That surrounds us on all sides
[Verse]
B G#m F#
You can look the other way
E F# F#7
In fact, that's all I did until recently
E F# F#7
'Til the expiration of my amnesty
B F#/A# G#m G#m/F#
Left me nowhere else to hide
[Prechorus]
C#7/F B
Let's try and have some fun tonight
Em B E F#
Let's act it could always be this good
[Chorus]
B G#m F# E F#
Like we're just as young as we used to be
B G#m F# E F#
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Bridge]
C#m G#m
G# flatlining learning curve
E B
On the last leg with low reserves
C#m G#m
G# desperado that lost his nerve
E
Trying now to serve
F# F#7
Teach me how to serve
[Chorus]
B G#m F# E F#
'Cause we're not as young as we used to be
B G#m F# E F#
And it goes for everyone but me especially
[Chorus]
B G#m F# E F#
'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?)
B G#m F# E
And it goes for everyone but me especially
(I know it's hard for everyone)
F#
And you especially
[Outro]
