Intro:

Bm F#m E

Verse 1:

B F#m

We've run out of reasons

D A

Losing sight of what it's supposed to be

A part time believer to truth

B F#m

Somehow conceded

D A B

This sense of self evasive solitude

F#m D A

It means way too much to me

Pre-chorus:

And I hope you know how lucky you are

Chorus:

D A E

Oh, I remember sitting back on my balcony

D A E

I was a-listening to the Rolling Stones

D A E

See I was waiting for my dad to come home from work

D A E

So I could show him all the chords that I've learned

D A E

See I was under the impression I was gonna lead

D A E

Some kind of simple understated life

D A E

But now I'm living in the shadows of a memory

D A E

And I hope so, man I hope so, oh oh oh

Fill:

Bm F#m E

Verse 2:

B F#m

It's been way too long

D A B

It seems that I can celebrate my meaning

F#m D A

For I am too young, too warm

B F#m

The fib while it leans

D A

It pulls and it pushes me

B F#m D A

Till I wither, till I wither, till I wither

Pre-chorus:

And I hope you know how lucky you are

Chorus:

D A E

Oh, I remember sitting back on my balcony

I was a-listening to the Rolling Stones

No, you dare

A Bm

You run like a lion to defend your senses

Even though it seems it cuts to the core

It's not the same my friend no more
