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