Am, Em, D - C, F - G


[Verse 1]

Am                     Em
What amounts to a dream any more?
        D - C                  F - G
A crude device, a veil on our eyes
Am                              Em
A simple plan we'd be different from the rest
          D - C              F - G
And never resign to a typical life


[Instrumental]

Am, Em, D - C, F - G
Am, Em, D - C, F - G


[Verse 2]

Am                     Em
Common fears start to multiply
     D - C              F - G
We realize we're paralysed
Am                         Em
Where'd it go, all that precious time?
            D - C           F - G
Did we even try, to stem the tide?


[Chorus]

D                Am
Why should we waste it on
        C                  F - G
Buying into the same old lies?
     D         Am
The longer we wait around
     C                    F - G
The faster the years go by

Em               D
    It's not too late
F              G
    To feel a little more alive
Em            D
    Make our escape
F                G
    Before we start to vaporize


[Instrumental]

Am, Em, D - C, F - G
Am, Em, D - C, F - G

G, C, Em, F, G


[Bridge]

G                      C
Doubtless, we've been through this
          Em              F              G
So if you want to follow me you should know
     G                  C
I was lost then and I'm lost now
      Em                F               G
And I doubt I'll ever know which way to go


[Instrumental]

Am, Em, D - C, F - G
Am, Em, D - C, F - G
Am, Em, D - C, F - G
Am, Em, D - C, F - G
