Intro
G, D, G. D
A E
I'm making plans to pass the time
A D
I write these songs, they seldom rhyme
F#m E
I used to quit, but now I smoke
D
This life's the only one I know
A E
I've got some friends I never see
A D
I wait but nothing's happening
F#m E
I asked you if you felt the same
D E
You know the rules; won't play the game
--CHORUS--
A
If I woke up now
F#m
from a life-long dream
D A
I'd make sure to write it down
F#m
Cause I'd like to think
D
that I've learned some things
E
Though it's too late now
G, D, G, D
A E
I've watched my days turn into nights
A D
I've seen the city, but not the sights
F#m E
I've broken hearts, so mine won't break
D
I try to learn from my mistakes
A E
I learned my lines, I'll play my part
A D
I love the ending, but I don't know where to start
F#m E
So if you're looking for someone to lead
D
Don't follow me
E
--CHORUS--
SOLO: G, D, G, D, Em, D, C
A E
So I won't sleep; I will not hide
A D
It's time to follow my advice
F#m E
And when it's time to pay dues
D E
I'll let my life be my excuse
--CHORUS--
SOLO 2: G, D, G, C, Em, D, G, C, G
