A         
I saw the best minds of my generation

 F#m
Passed out in their prime

            E                      D                 A
Cuz we were waiting for a suitable time for waking up

A
I must have looked in your eyes about two thousand times

 F#m
But I never saw a sign

              E               D                 A
No nothing to say, this was a time for giving up


           D                                                   A
And if you somehow you still believe in love try not to let it hurt so bad

                        F#m
Don't you know that you always

E        D                  A
Had everything that you need


           D                     
If there's something in the stars above besides


    A (stop)        F#m (stop)
Our sentiments, and masses of gasses

        E                            D                 A
I would swear, it still wouldn't have shown itself to me

                  A 
But why should it?


 (pause)


A Abm F#m F#m E F#m E

                    F#m 
I had a dream about parking lots, 

                        E 
And shopping malls, and lies

         F#m 
The only words anyone could muster

          E
Were just goodbyes, goodbyes, goodbyes, 

            D
And ain't I ashamed, and ain't I ashamed

                   A         E (12th)   D
To engage in these infantile notions of pain

        A            E (12th)   D
When we wake up it's always the same

         F                      A
Though I hope everything is okay



A Abm F#m F#m E F#m E F#m E F#m E

         A
I took a walk in your shoes


You know that I got the blues

         F#m                        
Thinking bout how there's this wall

          E         
They made climbers of us all

        D             Dm
Till we eventually fall and



            A
So you talk about your ideals


Like they're not how you feel

               F#m
Like they're a dream you hold inside

   E                      D                           A
An old plan left unrealized until the day that it died


              D
Well if you're waiting on the world to change

                A
Don't waste you precious heart

                      F#m 
Oh, I know that you are too

E         D                A
Smart to think that it will


     D
That sure is one way to live

            A
But one day something has got to give

                  F#m
And if you're not ready 

                    E            D             A
Well you're sure to fancy yourself, oh so still


 F#m E F#m E

          F#m
So don't try so hard

                        E
For things that haven't come yet

       F#m                                  E
Don't live your life like it's already gone

      F#m                      
Don't listen too closely 

                           E
It's nobody, just trying to make them self feel better with a song
