Verse 1:
Bb                     C
 Have I done my best here
  Dm       C        F
Or  will I be  here next year
  Bb             F          C
Or  are these my best years yet?
Bb                  C   Dm
 Was looking forward  to
  C     F          Bb
Being important but
           C         F
I'm not important yet

Chorus:
       Bb                  C
If you put this scene on a movie screen
      F        C     Dm
Is it called a happy end?
       Bb                     C
If the word gets me where I'm supposed to be
       F         C       Bb
Will I know I've made it then?
        C
It's so hard
(nc)
Can we skip to the good part?

Verse 2:
Bb                      C    Dm
  If there's a good part then
  C         F             Bb
I hope it's not far 'cause
               F     C
I thought it'd be today
Bb                  C   Dm
  I napped on campus and
  C         F         Bb
I smoked at dances but
          C            F
It didn't feel so great

Chorus:
       Bb                  C
If you put this scene on a movie screen
      F        C     Dm
Is it called a happy end?
       Bb                     C
If the word gets me where I'm supposed to be
       F         C       Bb
Will I know I've made it then?

It's so hard
