Intro
A# Gm F D# F F7
A# Gm F D# F F7
[Verse]
A# Gm F
As far as I could tell
D# F F7
I was the center of the universe
D# F F7
The favorite stepchild of our Mother Earth
A# F/A Gm
And every camera's dream
[Verse]
A# Gm F
'Til something broke the spell
D# F F7
And the cold hard facts I was hiding from
D# F F7
Were at the mercy of the pendulum
A# F/A Gm Gm/F
And I was smashed to smithereens
[Prechorus]
C7/E A#
Let's try and have some fun tonight
D#m A# D# F
Let's act like we got nowhere else to be
[Chorus]
A# Gm F D# F
Like we're just as young as we used to be
A# Gm F D# F
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Break]
A# Gm F D# F F7
[Verse]
A# Gm F
Documents and names
D# F F7
An eye twitch away from what they really mean
D# F F7
In the shadow world of the in-betweens
A# F/A Gm
That surrounds us on all sides
[Verse]
A# Gm F
You can look the other way
D# F F7
In fact, that's all I did until recently
D# F F7
'Til the expiration of my amnesty
A# F/A Gm Gm/F
Left me nowhere else to hide
[Prechorus]
C7/E A#
Let's try and have some fun tonight
D#m A# D# F
Let's act it could always be this good
[Chorus]
A# Gm F D# F
Like we're just as young as we used to be
A# Gm F D# F
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Bridge]
Cm Gm
G flatlining learning curve
D# A#
On the last leg with low reserves
Cm Gm
G desperado that lost his nerve
D#
Trying now to serve
F F7
Teach me how to serve
[Chorus]
A# Gm F D# F
'Cause we're not as young as we used to be
A# Gm F D# F
And it goes for everyone but me especially
[Chorus]
A# Gm F D# 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?)
A# Gm F D#
And it goes for everyone but me especially
(I know it's hard for everyone)
F
And you especially
[Outro]
