Em7                A6       Em7             A6
     You take the name of a man you hardly know,
              Em7     A6         Em7         A6   A7
And then you grow up,    and the name has to go,     married, with kids,
          A7          A7sus4           Em7    A6       Em7        A6
And they don't want to know about the dreams    ...you had to let go,
Em7                A6           Em7                A6
    You're still waiting for a knight in shining armour,
    Em7            A6        Em7     A6
To steal you a - gainst your will,
A7                                         A7sus4
    And while you're waiting, and doing no harm,
                   Em7       A6     Em7    A6
You know, there's plenty of time to kill!


G
     And when you claim you wouldn't change a day,
(G/F#) Em
          It makes me wonder where I went astray,
Cmaj7
Happy with things that leave me tired,
          Bm7             B7#9            Em7       A6   Em7       A6
We're as    ...unalike as frost and fire-------------------!

Em7                  A6          Em7            A6
     And now your - self ...you start to see in me,
  Em7         A6          Em7          A6
Pictures of things which you could've been,
   A7                           A7sus4
Torches I find I am bearing for you,
         Em7    A6                     Em7        A6
When you know      ...you could have carried them too,
Em7          A6    Em7    A6           Em7        A6        Em7      A6
     We give up so easi - ly ...what little they leave us...to lose,
A7                                     A7sus4
    And, if I didn't have the fire to struggle,
          Em7    A6      Em7         A6
I could freeze     ...in your shoes!


G
    When I say, "I couldn't live that way!",
(G/F#) Em
          You must wonder where I went astray,
Cmaj7
Happy with things that leave me tired,
         Bm7            B7#9            Em7       A6   Em7       A6
