B5            E5   X2
(Whistling)

B5                A5
We've run out of reason
D5               A5
Losing sight of what it's supposed to be 
B5              A5              D5 *        A5 *
A part time believer, to truth
B5                A5          D5              A5
We've somehow conceded this sense of self-evasive solitude
B5                A5        D5 *      A5 *
It means way too much to me
B5              B5          C#5        D5
And I hope you know, how lucky you are

       B5                        E5
Oh I remember sitting back on my balcony
        B5                       E5
I was'a listening to the Rolling Stones
          B5                         E5
See I was waiting for my dad to come home from work 
           B5                               E5
So I could show him all the chords that I'd learnt
          B5                         E5
See I was under the impression I was gonna lead
             B5                  E5
Some kind of simple understated life
             B5                       E5
But now I'm living in the shadows of a memory
      B5              E5   
And I hope so, man I hope so


B5               E5   X2
(Whistling)

B5                 A5
It's been way too long
   D5                A5      
It seems that I can celebrate my meaning
B5            A5             D5 *       A5 *
For I am too young to mourn
B5                 A5
And if it won't release
   D5            A5
It pulls and it pushes me
        B5             A5             D5 *
Til I wither, til I wither, til I wither
      B5        B5         C#5        D5
And I hope you know, how lucky you are


Chorus

    B5      A5
And oh you dare,
               D5
You run like a lion
   A5
To defend your senses
    B5     A5
And oh it seems
               A5
It cuts at the core
             B5                E5
It's not the same my friend no more

Oh no

B5          E5     X8

(Fading)
          B5                                           
See I was waiting for my Dad to come home from work so I could...
