capo 8
intro- C
Cwhen i was young i wanted a coffin
coz i was told that it was tradition
Gmaking my mark in the eEmarth
Fduty was told to come fCirst
Cbut now i know to live and be nervous
if you're not scared you're not liven with purpose
Gso now they can burn me aEmway
Fi'll make my mark other wCays
Gso take a chance
Fand run with me toCnight
Gand we can dance
Funtil we're terCrified
Gcoz when it's dark
Fthat's when we'll come alCive
Flet yourself be sGcared like CmeG  
Flet yourself be sGcared like Cme
Ci always thought if i had superpowers
and if i could chose how to live out my hours
Gi'd choose immortaEmlity
Fi'd be here permanenCtly
Cbut if life's long it won't guarantee meaning
i might just spend twice as long a life sleeping
Gso now i think i'd choose to fEmly
Fit's hard to sleep in the Csky
Gso take a chance
Fand run with me toCnight
Gand we can dance
Funtil we're terCrified
Gcoz when it's dark
Fthat's when we'll come alCive
Flet yourself be sGcared like CmeG  
Flet yourself be sGcared like me
