INTRO: E7+/9   E9

E7
"Welcome to the real world"
       A
She said to me condescendingly
C#m 
Take a seat, Take your life
Am 
Plot it out in black and white
E7 
Well I never lived the dreams
         A
of the prom kings
And the drama queens
                           C#m
I'd like to think the best of me
                 F# 
Is still hiding up my sleeve

REFRAIN: 
        A 
They love to tell you
                        E7
"Stay inside the lines"
         F#
But something's better
A                      E
On the other side



			
			

            Am                  D
I wanna run through the halls
              E
of my high school
            Am
I wanna scream at the
D             E
Top of my lungs
                   Am 
I just found out there's no
           D                 E
such thing as the real world
              Am              D        E7
Just a lie you've got to rise above

			


E7
So the good boys and girls
         A
take the so called right track
                                          C#m
Faded white hats grabbing credits
Maybe transfers
             Am 
They read all the books but they
can't find the answers
E7                                     A
And all of our parents, They're getting older
                                                       C#m
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
                                            F#
While in their memories tiny tragedies

REPEAT REFRAIN

REPEAT CHORUS

Interlude: F A

F                A
I am invincible
F                A
I am invincible
F                A
I am invincible
         G             A
As long as I'm alive

Adlib: A   E7   F#   A   E/G#

REPEAT CHORUS

             Am              D       E
I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion
                  Am             D         E
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
                 Am                  D          E
And when I stand on these tables before you
              Am                    D      E E7
You will know what all this time was for
