GI remember barefoot creek
F#And rolled up huckleberry jeans
EmAnd posters hanging on the wall
COf heroes that would never fall
[Verse 2]
GSummer nights, kick the can
F#Huffy bikes and Peter Pan
EmBut baby, this ain't Neverland
CNo baby, this ain't Neverland
[Chorus]
GYeah, maybe life's not what I thought it'd beC  
GIt's nothing like my childhood fantasiesC  
It's Emharder than I could've known

[Intro]

|G--F#|C---|

[Verse 1]

I remember barefoot creek

And rolled up huckleberry jeans

And posters hanging on the wall

Of heroes that would never fall

[Verse 2]

Summer nights, kick the can

Huffy bikes and Peter Pan

But baby, this ain't Neverland

No baby, this ain't Neverland

[Chorus]

G C

Yeah, maybe life's not what I thought it'd be

G C

It's nothing like my childhood fantasies

It's harder than I could've known

But higher than my hopes could've flown

G C

And better than I ever could've dreamed

G F# Em C

More villains and sad endings I suppose

G F# G

But I'll take the thorns for this beautiful rose

[Intro] 2x

[Verse 3]

Well, I heard you could make God laugh

By telling him the plans you have

And now I know that to be true

Cause I could never dream of you

[Verse 4]

Praise the Lord, there's something more than

What we think we're fighting for

Just think what we'd be missing

If we only got what we were wishing

[Chorus 2] 2x

G C

Yeah, maybe life's not what I thought it'd be

G C

It's nothing like my childhood fantasies

It's harder than I could've known

But higher than my hopes could've flown

G C

And better than I ever could've dreamed

G F# Em C

More villains and sad endings I suppose

G F# Em C

But I'll take the thorns for this beautiful rose
