[Verse 1]
[Am]My eye s[Dm] can[Am]'t
[Dm]believe [Am]what they have seen
[Dm]In t[Am]he corner of your room y[Dm]ou've
stockpiled mil[Am]lions of my memories
Oh doctor, doctor
I must [Dm]have [Am]gotten this sick somehow
I'm going to ask you a series of questions
And I want [Dm]them [Am]answered on the spot
Right [Dm]now[Am]
"Is it [F]serious?"

[C]
"I'm [Dm]afraid it [Am]is"

But [Am]yours is coming [F]quicker than [C]ours,
than [Dm]ours"

Well here's what was said then
[Am]Hold your [C]head high, heavy heart
[F]

So take [G]a chance and make it big
'Cause it's the [Am]last you'll ever get

And I've been [C]planning
something big

I never tried to make
the best of my time
When I thought that I had plenty [Dm]of it[Am]
Is this [F]serious?
[C]I don't kno[Dm]w what to [Am]think
Is it [F]all a lie?
[C]Well one thi[Dm]ng is for sure
[Am]I'm taken back[F] to the [C]glory days[Dm] when
[Am]When we were kids [F]without a
[C]brash or bitter [Dm]thing to say
[G]Now my life is one big make it or break it

[Am]Hold your [C]head high, heavy heart
[F]And save your strength
for the morning after

So take [G]a chance and make it big
'Cause it's the [Am]last you'll ever get

When will we make it

And I've been [C]planning
something big
Planning something big

[Verse 8]
So take [G]a chance and make it big
'Cause it's the [Am]last you'll ever get

And I've been [C]planning
something big
Planning something big
