A            G

D              F#m           G
 All the things that I care about
             Asus4  A
Are packed into one punch
D                    F#m            G
 All the things that I'm not sure about
           F#7
Are sorted out at once

D          D7/C
 And as it was in the beginning
G            F#m
 So shall it be in the end
     G6          F#m
That bullshit is bullshit
        D
It just goes by different names

          Asus4 A
But never act  upon
D                       F#m        G
 All the courage of the dreams I have
             F#m
They seem to wait so long.

D            D7/C
 My doubt is cast aside
G              F#m
 Watch phonies run to hide
G6        F#m             D
 The dignified don't even enter in the game

       C#m
If you feel there's no passion
     A
No quality sensation
           C#m
Seize that young determination
         A
Show the fakers you ain't fooling.

       C#m
You'll see me come running
       A
To the sound of your strumming
        C#m
Fill my heart with joy and gladness
               A                      D/F#  A/E
I've lived too long in the shadows of sad - ness.
