[Intro]
 Abm   Abm   A    F#x2
[Verse 1]
   AbmOld crows ride Abmin the mouth of the Abeast
Sleep beneath it's F#tongue, cradled by it's Abmteeth
We roam from Abmshore to shore
From the Aopen sky to the F#ocean floor
   AbmThe more we Abmmove, the less we Aare ourselvesF#  
   AbmAnd when we finally Abmstop, we change to sAomething elseF#  
[Pre-Chorus]
   AbmAs rapid as, a Ariver F#flows
   AbmAs frigid as, the Acold wind can bF#low
  AbmAs devious as the Adevil's F#grin
Our Abmblood is cold as we Ashed our F#skin now
[Chorus]
AbWe are are not the C#kids we used to F#be
B(Stop wishing Afor yesterday)
AbWe are are not the C#kids we used to F#be
B(Stop wishing Afor yesterday)
AbWe are are not the kC#ids we used to bF#e
BOh-oh-ohA  
AbWe are are not the C#kids we used to F#be
BStop wishing Afor yesterday
[Instrumental] 
 Abm   Abm   A    F#x2
[Verse 2]
  AbmThe crows are calling, seems the Abmend is near
  AThey're spelling out our F#names yet we have no fear
  AbmOh the damage that a Abmman can do
When Aambition takes over his F#search for the truth
AbmSometimes, Abmlife just gets the Abest of usF#  
AbmSome things in Abmlife will get the Abest of usF#  
[Chorus]
AbWe are are not the C#kids we used to F#be
B(Stop wishing Afor yesterday)
AbWe are are not the C#kids we used to F#be
B(Stop wishing Afor yesterday)
AbWe are are not the kC#ids we used to bF#e   Oh-oh-oh
BStop wishing fAor yesterday 
AbWe are are not the C#kids we used to F#be
BStop wishing Afor yesterday 
[Breakdown]
Abm
[Bridge]
AbmEvery skyline Abmbeats in my chest
ASomewhere between F#love and sadness
AbmThis is our fate, Abmthis is our test
AWe ride in the F#mouth of madness
[Pre-Chorus]
   AbmAs rapid as, a Ariver F#flows
   AbmAs frigid as, the Acold wind can bF#low
  AbmAs devious as the Adevil's F#grin
Our Abmblood is cold as we Ashed our F#skin now 
[Chorus]
AbWe are are not the C#kids we used to F#be
B(Stop wishing Afor yesterday)
AbWe are are not the C#kids we used to F#be
