Am:   X02210
D:    XX0232
G:    320003
G/F#: 2X0003
F:    133211
G/BWell the future's got me worried such Amawful thoughts
DMy head's a carousel of pictures, the Gspin-ning neG/F#-ver stops
G/BI just want someone to Amwalk in front
And I'll Ffollow the Gleader
G/BLike when I fell under the weight of a Amschoolboy crush
DStarted carrying her books and Gdoing G/F#lots of drugs
G/BI almost forgot Amwho I was
But FI came to my Gsenses
G/BNow I'm trying to be assertive, I'm Ammaking plans
DGoing to rise to the occasioGn, yeah, meet aG/F#ll their demands
G/BBut all I do is just Amlay in bed
And Fhide under thGe covers
G/BYeah, I know I should be Dbrave
But GI'm just G/F#too afraid G/Bof all this Dchange
G/BAnd it's too hard to focus through Amall this doubt
I keep Dmaking this to-do list but Gnothing G/F#gets crossed out
G/BWorking on the record seems Ampointless now
When the Fworld ends who's gonna Ghear it?
But I'm G/Btrying to take some comfort in Amwritten words
Yeah DTim, I heard your album and Git's better G/F#than good
