Intro
F Dm C A# C C7
F Dm C A# C C7
[Verse]
F Dm C
As far as I could tell
A# C C7
I was the center of the universe
A# C C7
The favorite stepchild of our Mother Earth
F C/E Dm
And every camera's dream
[Verse]
F Dm C
'Til something broke the spell
A# C C7
And the cold hard facts I was hiding from
A# C C7
Were at the mercy of the pendulum
F C/E Dm Dm/C
And I was smashed to smithereens
[Prechorus]
G7/B F
Let's try and have some fun tonight
A#m F A# C
Let's act like we got nowhere else to be
[Chorus]
F Dm C A# C
Like we're just as young as we used to be
F Dm C A# C
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Break]
F Dm C A# C C7
[Verse]
F Dm C
Documents and names
A# C C7
An eye twitch away from what they really mean
A# C C7
In the shadow world of the in-betweens
F C/E Dm
That surrounds us on all sides
[Verse]
F Dm C
You can look the other way
A# C C7
In fact, that's all I did until recently
A# C C7
'Til the expiration of my amnesty
F C/E Dm Dm/C
Left me nowhere else to hide
[Prechorus]
G7/B F
Let's try and have some fun tonight
A#m F A# C
Let's act it could always be this good
[Chorus]
F Dm C A# C
Like we're just as young as we used to be
F Dm C A# C
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Bridge]
Gm Dm
D flatlining learning curve
A# F
On the last leg with low reserves
Gm Dm
D desperado that lost his nerve
A#
Trying now to serve
C C7
Teach me how to serve
[Chorus]
F Dm C A# C
'Cause we're not as young as we used to be
F Dm C A# C
And it goes for everyone but me especially
[Chorus]
F Dm C A# 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 Dm C A#
And it goes for everyone but me especially
(I know it's hard for everyone)
C
And you especially
[Outro]
F Dm C A# C C7
