[E]
Welcome to the real [A] world, she said to me, condescendingly.
[F#m] Take a seat, [Em] take your life, blot it out in black and white.
[E] Well, I never [A] lived the dream of the prime kings and the drama queens.
I'd like to think the best of me.
Still [F#] hiding up my [E] [A] sleeve.
I'd love to tell you to stay inside [C#m] the [E] lines.
[F#] Well, something's better [E] on the other side.
[Am] I want to run home [E] tonight.
I'm out of school, I [Am] want to scream at the top of [E] my lungs.
I [Am] just found out there's no such thing [E] as the real world.
[Am] Just a ladder you've got to [E] rise above.
So the good boys and [A] girls take the so-called right track.
Faded white hats, grappled [C#m] credits, and maybe transfers.
[Em] Thinking all about this love I can't find the answers.
[E] And all of my parents, they're [A] getting older.
I wonder if they've wished for anything better.
[C#m] While in their memories, [F#] tight tragedies.
[A] I'd love to tell you to stay inside the [E] lines.
[F#] Well, something's better [A] on [E] the other side.
[Am] I want to run home [E] tonight.
I'm out of school, I [Em] want to scream at the [E] top of my lungs.
I [Am] just found out there's no such thing [E] as the real world.
[G] Just a ladder you've got to [E] rise above.
[Em]
[F]
[A] [F] I [A] am invincible.
[F] I [A] am invincible.
[F] I [A] am invincible.
[G] As long as I'm [A] alive.
[E]
[F#]
[A]
[E] [Am] I'm on the run through the [Em] halls.
[E] I'm out of school, I [Am] want to scream at the top of [E] my lungs.
I [F#] just found [Em] out [Am] there's no such thing [E] as the real world.
[F#] Just a ladder you've got to [E] rise above.
I [Am] just can't wait [G] till my 10 [E] year reunion.
I'm [Am] gonna bust down the [E] double doors.
And [Em] when I stand on this [E] table before you,
[Am] you'll know what all this [E] time was for.
