Intro: A  Dbm D  Gbm E Dbm B

A
 Well I've tried to live like
                 Dbm       D 
the way that you wanted me to.
       Gbm         E
Never needed the proof,
     Dbm           B
just followed the rules.
A
 I pick up all the pieces 
               Dbm     D 
and I move my feet as fast as I can.
            Gbm      E     
I'm always falling behind, 
      Dbm          B
just float in the lines.
A                       
 You want more and ambition's
          Dbm      D 
taken its toll on you.
              Gbm     E      Dbm              B
Well hey your confidence is fading with your youth.

Where you want with a little more?


A  Dbm D 
       You're coughing blood again

Every now and then
AA 
  Fold the line along the seam
                  Dbm     D                  
Force a smile and never say what you mean
              Gbm       E
You're in the promised land
           Dbm     B
In someone else's dream
A
  If you want more and you'll get there
                Dbm      D 
Throw a quarter in the well
      Gbm          E
