Capo 3
GThe (320003@1)group were big for just a year
Cand (x32010@1)then the whole thing fell
         Amthey (x02210@1)had nothing to fall back on
          Dthey (xx0232@1)fell pretty hard as you can tell
    G (320003@1)                                Cand (x32010@1)now they're cleaning tables in the local bar

G (320003@1)                            CShe (x32010@1)looks down on those who do not look up to her
        Am (x02210@1)                                 Dshe's (xx0232@1)a head above them all although she'll never be as tall
      G (320003@1)                     CAnd (x32010@1)everybody loves her they think that she is swell
         Am (x02210@1)                          DBut (xx0232@1)the one true problem is that she knows it all too well

VERSE 2

He's feeling pretty confident he thinks his future's made
But all of a sudden the adoration could fade
Now he begs the world to like him, and pretend he likes himself
but he's wasted all his years and now he's sitting on the shelf

I can try to avoid it I can push it in the shade
But whether I like it or not there are decisions to be made
I'm really scared a little bridge is all that I will be
They'll tell me I'll be big and then they'll walk all over me

CHORUS

Carve out your future no one else will do it for you (x2)
I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got 
nothing to lose

Take life by the handlebars and shake shake shake
It is nowhere you will go if it's not progress that you make
I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got 
nothing to lose now

CHORUS

Take life by the handlebars
