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