Apologies given to thin air don't listen.
The vibrations don't hit eardrums
of the heads that deserve this.
The useless excuses.
It didn't work, but we really tried.

Good timing found speechless,
we tripped on our moments.
Good gracious, who left who behind?
Let's live in the hour. Make powerful statements of 

how we will not let this die. 

B (x2444x@1)              F# (244322@1)     EThis (022100@1)is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind

Good houses. Decisions.
You're married with children.
Sweet cages, I thought you were mine. 



This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind

This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind
