C F#

I read the paper just the other day

C F#

About a buddy of mine who headed to an early grave

They say he went in his sleep

With a smile on his face

Bet he was dreaming about those better days

When the crash of the drums

Hit like the waves on a beach

That cheap bass and guitar and our wildest dreams

We were searching for a savior like anybody else

C F#

Trying to save ourselves from ourselves

Nah-nah-nah, Just a garage band

We weren't alive

We were livin' in Garageland

Our parents all held jobs but we had other plans

We acted like our heroes

They just didn't understand

We were never afraid to fall

It was us and those four walls
