Intro
A F#m E D E E7
A F#m E D E E7
[Verse]
A F#m E
As far as I could tell
D E E7
I was the center of the universe
D E E7
The favorite stepchild of our Mother Earth
A E/G# F#m
And every camera's dream
[Verse]
A F#m E
'Til something broke the spell
D E E7
And the cold hard facts I was hiding from
D E E7
Were at the mercy of the pendulum
A E/G# F#m F#m/E
And I was smashed to smithereens
[Prechorus]
B7/D# A
Let's try and have some fun tonight
Dm A D E
Let's act like we got nowhere else to be
[Chorus]
A F#m E D E
Like we're just as young as we used to be
A F#m E D E
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Break]
A F#m E D E E7
[Verse]
A F#m E
Documents and names
D E E7
An eye twitch away from what they really mean
D E E7
In the shadow world of the in-betweens
A E/G# F#m
That surrounds us on all sides
[Verse]
A F#m E
You can look the other way
D E E7
In fact, that's all I did until recently
D E E7
'Til the expiration of my amnesty
A E/G# F#m F#m/E
Left me nowhere else to hide
[Prechorus]
B7/D# A
Let's try and have some fun tonight
Dm A D E
Let's act it could always be this good
[Chorus]
A F#m E D E
Like we're just as young as we used to be
A F#m E D E
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Bridge]
Bm F#m
F# flatlining learning curve
D A
On the last leg with low reserves
Bm F#m
F# desperado that lost his nerve
D
Trying now to serve
E E7
Teach me how to serve
[Chorus]
A F#m E D E
'Cause we're not as young as we used to be
A F#m E D E
And it goes for everyone but me especially
[Chorus]
A F#m E D E
'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 F#m E D
And it goes for everyone but me especially
(I know it's hard for everyone)
E
And you especially
[Outro]
A F#m E D E E7
