G Em D C D D7
[Verse]
G Em D
As far as I could tell
C D D7
I was the center of the universe
C D D7
The favorite stepchild of our Mother Earth
G D/F# Em
And every camera's dream
[Verse]
G Em D
'Til something broke the spell
C D D7
And the cold hard facts I was hiding from
C D D7
Were at the mercy of the pendulum
G D/F# Em Em/D
And I was smashed to smithereens
[Prechorus]
A7/C# G
Let's try and have some fun tonight
Cm G C D
Let's act like we got nowhere else to be
[Chorus]
G Em D C D
Like we're just as young as we used to be
G Em D C D
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Break]
G Em D C D D7
[Verse]
G Em D
Documents and names
C D D7
An eye twitch away from what they really mean
C D D7
In the shadow world of the in-betweens
G D/F# Em
That surrounds us on all sides
[Verse]
G Em D
You can look the other way
C D D7
In fact, that's all I did until recently
C D D7
'Til the expiration of my amnesty
G D/F# Em Em/D
Left me nowhere else to hide
[Prechorus]
A7/C# G
Let's try and have some fun tonight
Cm G C D
Let's act it could always be this good
[Chorus]
G Em D C D
Like we're just as young as we used to be
G Em D C D
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Bridge]
Am Em
E flatlining learning curve
C G
On the last leg with low reserves
Am Em
E desperado that lost his nerve
C
Trying now to serve
D D7
Teach me how to serve
[Chorus]
G Em D C D
'Cause we're not as young as we used to be
G Em D C D
And it goes for everyone but me especially
[Chorus]
G Em 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 Em D C
And it goes for everyone but me especially
(I know it's hard for everyone)
D
And you especially
