[Intro]

Dm C F Bb

[Verse 1]

Dm C

She’s all alone even when she’s surrounded

F Bb Dm

Rolling stone you can’t keep her grounded

C F Bb

She’s flying high; candy coated dreams under pink skies.

Dm C

She said, "I just wanna be beautiful,

F Bb

And when the money starts raining like a waterfall

Dm C

All my problems will disappear right?”

But deep down they're stout, now she's singing out

[Pre-Chorus]

Dm C

Got my heart broken once or twice

F Bb

So I won’t give it up without a fight

Dm C F Bb

I want the truth but I told some lies

Dm C

When I live, we're atop, but I’m so cold

F Bb

Where I’ll end up only God knows

Dm C F

And I’m still figuring it out, out, out

[Chorus]

Dm C F

But it’s just our generation,

Bb Dm C F

Want it all but got no patience,

Bb Dm C F

Wanna know that time is ticking,

Bb Dm

One day we’ll be amazing,

C F

But we’re so sick of waiting

Bb Dm C F Bb

And it’s just our generation

Dm C F Bb

Dadadaa, dadaa, daadadahh,

[verse 2]

Dm C

He’s too afraid to settle down and get older

F Bb

Couldn’t afford to make his fast life slower

Dm C F Bb

So.. he runs away from every good girl, just play the game

Dm C

Too worried about what other people think

F Bb

Every little thing, take another drink

Dm C Bb

Let it sink in, pretend, fake friends, loose ends, now he's singin’

[Pre-Chorus]

Dm C

Got my heart broken once or twice

F Bb

So I won’t give it up without a fight

Dm C F Bb

I want the truth but I told some lies

Dm C

Where I’ll end up who really knows

F Bb

Just kiss me once before I go

Dm C F

I’m a mess, still figuring it out, out, out

[Chorus]

Dm C F

But it’s just our generation,

Bb Dm C F

Want it all but got no patience,

Bb Dm C F

Wanna know that time is ticking,

Bb Dm

One day we’ll be amazing,

C F

But we’re so sick of waiting

Bb Dm C F Bb

And it’s just our generation da, da dahh

Dm C F Bb

Dadadaa, dadaa, daadadahh,

Dm C F Bb

And it’s just our generation da, da dahh

Dm C F Bb

Dadadaa, dadaa, ohh, yeahh

[Bridge]

Dm C

Chasing a million things, a million dreams

F Bb

Gotta look crazy, young, wild, and free

Dm C

At least that’s what they told me on tv

Blind to reality,

Dm C

There’s gotta be something missing

F Bb

More than just a real good feeling

Dm C Bb

Life’s too short to have no meaning

Too bad there’s no time for blinking

[Chorus]

Dm C F

But it’s just our generation,

Bb Dm C F

Want it all but got no patience,

Bb Dm C F

Wanna know that time is ticking,

Bb Dm

One day we’ll be amazing,

C F

But we’re so sick of waiting

Bb Dm C F Bb

And it’s just our generation

Bb Dm

One day we’ll be amazing,

C F

But i'm so sick of waiting

Bb Dm C F Bb

Guess it’s just our generation
