E C#m B A B B7
[Verse]
E C#m B
As far as I could tell
A B B7
I was the center of the universe
A B B7
The favorite stepchild of our Mother Earth
E B/D# C#m
And every camera's dream
[Verse]
E C#m B
'Til something broke the spell
A B B7
And the cold hard facts I was hiding from
A B B7
Were at the mercy of the pendulum
E B/D# C#m C#m/B
And I was smashed to smithereens
[Prechorus]
F#7/A# E
Let's try and have some fun tonight
Am E A B
Let's act like we got nowhere else to be
[Chorus]
E C#m B A B
Like we're just as young as we used to be
E C#m B A B
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Break]
E C#m B A B B7
[Verse]
E C#m B
Documents and names
A B B7
An eye twitch away from what they really mean
A B B7
In the shadow world of the in-betweens
E B/D# C#m
That surrounds us on all sides
[Verse]
E C#m B
You can look the other way
A B B7
In fact, that's all I did until recently
A B B7
'Til the expiration of my amnesty
E B/D# C#m C#m/B
Left me nowhere else to hide
[Prechorus]
F#7/A# E
Let's try and have some fun tonight
Am E A B
Let's act it could always be this good
[Chorus]

Like we're just as young as we used to be
E C#m B A B
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Bridge]
F#m C#m
C# flatlining learning curve
A E
On the last leg with low reserves
F#m C#m
C# desperado that lost his nerve
A
Trying now to serve
B B7
Teach me how to serve
[Chorus]
E C#m B A B
'Cause we're not as young as we used to be
E C#m B A B
And it goes for everyone but me especially
[Chorus]
E C#m B A B
'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?)
E C#m B A
And it goes for everyone but me especially
(I know it's hard for everyone)
B
And you especially
