Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G]
[C][G][F][G]
[F][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Million young poets [G]screamin' out their words
To a [C]world full of people just [G]livin' to be heard
[C]Future generations
ridin' on the [G]highways that we built
I [F]hope, that they have better under[G]standing

[Verse 2]
(Check it [C]out)
Goin' to work on [G]Monday
(Check it [C]out)
Got yourself a [G]family
(Check it [C]out)
All utility [G]bills have been paid
You can't [F]tell your best buddy
that you [G]love him
(So check it [Am]out)
Where does our [G]time go
(Check it [C]out)
Got a brand new house in [G]escrow
(Check it [C]out)
Sleepin' with your back [Em]to your loved one
This is [F]all that we've learned about [G]happiness

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C][G]
[C][G][F][G]
[F][G]

[Verse 3]
(Check it [C]out)
Forgot to say hello to my [G]neighbours
(Check it [C]out)
Sometimes I question my own be[G]havior
(Check it [C]out)
Talkin' about the girls we've [G]seen on the sly
Just to [F]tell our souls we're still the young [G]lions
(So check it [Am]out)
Getting' too drunk on [G]Saturdays
(Check it [C]out)
Playin' football with the kids on [G]Sundays
(Check it [C]out)
Soaring with the eagles [Em]all week long
And this is [F]all that we've learned about [G]living
This is [F]all that we've learned about [G]living

[Interlude 2]

Check it [F]out[G]

[Verse 4]
[C]Million young poets [G]screamin' out their words
[C]Maybe someday those [G]words will be heard
By [C]future generations
ridin' on the [G]highways that we built
[F]Maybe they'll have a better under[G]standing
(Check it...)
[Am]Maybe they'll have a better under[G]standing
(Check it [C]out)
Maybe they'll have a better under[G]standing
(Check it [C]out)
Maybe they'll have a better under[Em]standing
(Check it [F]out)
Hope they'll have a better under[G]standing

Check it [Am]out[C][G]
Check it [Am]out[C][G]
