Bb          Dm                C      F    Bb
Time stands still when you're always underage
                 Dm           C      F    Bb
So we learned to fake it like actors on a stage
                Dm                        C             F     Bb
And everyone we knew told us just what to do and how to feel about it
                  Dm                    C             F          Bb
All our illusions fell, we knew them so well until we learned to doubt all of it

[Chorus]
Dm                  F
   All the children know
          Bb       F
   If you jump you fall
Dm                     F
   And if you jump too high
            Bb            F
   You fall harder than before
                    Dm                     F
   All the children say, "Why'd you let me down?"
             Bb                   F
   "Tell me, when you gonna come around?"
                    Dm        F
   "I can't live my life underground"
             Bb                   F
   "Tell me, when you gonna come around?”

[Verse 2]
     Bb         Dm          C       F       Bb
Blue lights and shadows, we grew up way too fast
               Dm          C          F         Bb
They stole our future, but they can’t steal our past
         Dm                     C         F       Bb
Everyone knows that’s where you go if you have to run now
                   Dm                      C             F         Bb
If I’m not back by dawn, tell them I'll be gone and I'll stay gone somehow

[Chorus]
Dm                  F
   All the children know
          Bb       F
   If you jump you fall
Dm                     F
   And if you jump too high
            Bb            F
   You fall harder than before
                    Dm                     F
   All the children say, "Why'd you let me down?"
             Bb                   F
   "Tell me, when you gonna come around?"
                    Dm        F
   "I can't live my life underground"
             Bb                   F
   "Tell me, when you gonna come around?”
