[Intro 1]
[C][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 1]
[C]When we were kids,
our dreams were in[Am]vincible,
[C]When we were young,
our whole lives [Am]ahead of us,
And it was [Dm]well understood
we'd all become [G]astronauts,
And [F]firemen,

[Verse 2]
[C]Let's not pretend,
we all become [Am]famous,
Let's [C]not pretend,
there's more to [Am]this then we hoped for,
[Dm]For we knew the rules when we
were still [Gm]children,
[G]You [F]blow it,
You [E]fail it,
Disappoint[F]ment.

[Verse 3]
It's [Bb]well on it's way, [Gm]well understood,
And [Eb]you have a place,
[F]to be [C](when we wer[Em]e you[Gm]ng),
Time on our hands,
Still [F]out [Dm]of our h[Am]ands,
just like [C]rain [Em](it rained so [Gm]hard),
Time ran away, and [Dm]left [Gm]us a[Em]fraid,
[Am][C][Am][A][Am]

[Verse 4]
[C]
Your par[Am]ents are proud,
You've [C]got everything,
No pas[Am]sion at hand,
You'll [C]be Ivy League,
[Dm]It's more probable,
We all become [Gm]salesmen,
[G]You [F]know it,
You [E]fear it,
Me[Em]diocrity.[F]

[Verse 5]
It's [Bb]well on it's way, [Gm]well understood,
And [Eb]this is your [Bb]life,[Am][Bb][Eb]
Don't [Ab]apoligize for what you [Bb]are,
[Am][Bb][Eb]

[Interlude 1]
Because you're a star.
[Ab][Eb]
[Dm][C][Bb]
[Eb][Dm][C][Ab]
[Gm]

[Verse 6]
I hope you [F#]find [F]contentment,
I pray you [Em]find [C]an [Gm]answer,
'cause life is [F#m]bet ter th[F#]an
[F#dim]your occu[F]pation[Eb],
[F]Revel[F#]ation.
[Ab]

[Verse 7]
When [Bb]we (when we
[Gm]were young) were,
[Eb]Time on our hands,
Still [Ab]out of our hands,
Just like [Bb]rain (it rained
[Gm]so hard)[Eb]
Time ran away, and [Ab]left us [Bb]afraid.
[F#][Ab][Dm]
