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