INTRO: E7+/9   E9
  
  E7+/9
"welcome to the real world"

            E6/A
she said to me condescendingly

 A7M         C#m/A          
Take a seat, take your life

G6/9/E    G6/E   Em9       Em7
plot it out in black and white"

 E7+/9
well I never lived the dreams 

          E6/A
of the prom kings
and the drama queens

                          A7M   C#m/A
I'd like to think the best of me

                 F#7/9+
is still hiding up my sleeve


Pre-Chorus
   
  Asus2  F#M/A  A5
they love    to     tell you 
  
                      E7+/9 C#sus4/E
"stay in side the lines"

      Aadd9/G#
but something's 

Aadd9/G#                         E7+/9
better on the other side


Chorus

          Am9             Am9/E 
I want to run through the halls
  
    E7+/9  
of my high school

          Am9
I want to scream at the 

Am9/E     E7+/9
top of my lungs.

             Am9
I just found out there's no

     Am9/E        E7+/9    
such thing as the real world

       Am9               Am9/E  E7+/9
just a lie you've got to rise a bove
 

Verse
 
E7+/9
so the good boys and girls

         E6/A
take the so-called right track

                          A7M    C#m/A                
faded white hats grabbing credits
maybe transfers

    G6/9/E    G6/E
they read all the books but they 

Em9            Em7         
can't find the answers

                                          E6/A
And all of our parents, they're getting older


I wonder if they've wished for anything better

                              F#7/9+   A7M/9-/F#
while in their memories, tiny tragedies


Pre-Chorus
   
  Asus2  F#M/A  A5
they love    to     tell you 
                        E7+/9 C#sus4/E
"stay in side the lines"

      Aadd9/G#
but something's 

Aadd9/G#                         E7+/9
better on the other side



Chorus

          Am9             Am9/E 
I want to run through the halls
  
    E7+/9

          Am9
I want to scream at the

top of my lungs.

             Am9
I just found out there's no

     Am9/E        E7+/9    
such thing as the real world

       Am9               Am9/E  E7+/9
just a lie you've got to rise a bove
 


Bridge: F7M/5- Aadd9

F7M/5-   Aaad9
I am invincible 

F7M/5-   Aadd9
I am invincible

F7M/5-   Aadd9
I am invincible

   F7M/5-/G       Asus2 F#m/A  A5     C#/A
as long as I'm alive
 

Chorus

          Am9             Am9/E 
I want to run through the halls
  
    E7+/9  
of my high school

just a lie you've got to rise a bove
 


Verse
             Am9         Am9/E     E7+/9
I just can't wait for my ten year reunion
          Am9            Am9      E7+/9
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
           Am9            Am9/E         E7+/9
and when I stand on these tables before you
         Am9           Am9/E         E7+/9  E9
you will know what all this time was for
