Bm            E   X2
(Whistling)

B                A
We've run out of reason
D               A
Losing sight of what it's supposed to be 
B              A              D *        A *
A part time believer, to truth
B                A          D              A
We've somehow conceded this sense of self-evasive solitude
B                A        D *      A *
It means way too much to me
B              B          C#        D
And I hope you know, how lucky you are

       Bm                        E
Oh I remember sitting back on my balcony
        Bm                       E
I was'a listening to the Rolling Stones
          Bm                         E
See I was waiting for my dad to come home from work 
           Bm                               E
So I could show him all the chords that I'd learnt
          Bm                         E
See I was under the impression I was gonna lead
             Bm                  E
Some kind of simple understated life
             Bm                       E
But now I'm living in the shadows of a memory
      Bm              E   
And I hope so, man I hope so


Bm               E   X2
(Whistling)

B                 A
It's been way too long
   D                A      
It seems that I can celebrate my meaning
B            A             D *       A *
For I am too young to mourn
B                 A
And if it won't release
   D            A
It pulls and it pushes me
        B             A             D *
Til I wither, til I wither, til I wither
      B        B         C#        D
And I hope you know, how lucky you are


Chorus

    B      A
And oh you dare,
               D
You run like a lion
   A
To defend your senses
    B     A
And oh it seems
               A
It cuts at the core
             Bm                E
It's not the same my friend no more

Oh no

Bm          E     X8
(Whistling)

(Fading)
          Bm                                           
See I was waiting for my Dad to come home from work so I could...
