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