[Verse]
There's a Gsong in my Chead
Oh, a Amline that never stops Dplaying
I'm not Gsure how it Cends
I can't remember Amwhen I heard what you were Dsaying
[Instrumental]
G C Am D
[Verse]
GI'll make the best out of the Cworst
I'll make up half the Amwords and wear a Dt-shirt of a band I've never Gheard
GBecause it Churts to be on the Amoutside looking Din
[Pre-chorus]
AWell, I do my best to Adim7listen
But I'm Duncomfortable with too much Asilence
From the Apassenger seat you said "Adim7what does that mean?"
I said "I'm Dlearning to live with the Aviolence, Dviolence"
But AI'm not the Bkind that
[Chorus]
DWants to be Alost
I don't F#mwant to be forEgotten
I don't Dwant to pretAend
That F#mit's alrEight
I Dwant to see these Awalls
F#mCrumble and dissEolve around
[Interlude]
GMeC  Am  D  
[Verse]
GI got my golden diploma Cwearing a square crown
AmThe Class of '14 wore their cDapes like a reverend's Ggown
GAll that education Cwon't help us now
AmAttending funerals and watching Dfriends break their vows
[Pre-chorus]
AThere's not much that Adim7I can protect
So I Dkeep my good humor Aalive
ANothing disturbs your Adim7intellect
DLike the feeling of something you can't Adeny
DJustifiedA  B  
[Chorus]
DI don't want Ato be lost
I don't F#mwant to be forEgotten
I don't Dwant to pretAend
That F#mit's alrEight
I Dwant to see these Awalls
F#mCrumble and dissEolve around

[Verse]
GSaturday morning, C11 a.m.
AmHeard mom and dad talking Dmoney again
Fit a Gseven-person family in a Cfive-seater van
I Amguess all you can do is the Dbest that you can
Dad Gpushed it all down like the CGibson in his hand
To Amfinish that song that Dnever had a name
GI can still hear that Csong
In my AheadA  
[Bridge]
AInformation, education, given in love
AQuestions, digest like sugar in my blood
AHolding together what's meant to fall apart
AJustify the reason for the way things Bare
[Chorus]
DI don't want Ato be lost
I don't F#mwant to be forEgotten
I've got Dreason to beAlieve
That F#mI just Emight
WaDtch this city's waAlls
