[E] [F#]
[B] was running for a while, chasing promises and [C#] dreams.
Everything seems [E] easy when you're hopeful [F#] and [B] aspiring.
I was just another rebel walking on high wire [C#] lines.
I went looking for [C#m] trouble, [E] cheap [F#] fun and good [B] times.
[G#m] I was young, I [C#m] thought I had all the answers.
[E] I thought that [F#] was me, but the jokes [B] weren't fair.
[G#m] When the joke was over, [C#m] the laughter had died down.
[E] I'm still [F#] breathing, and I'm wondering
[B]
In my dark suburban bed, I [G#] would lie [B] there in the [C#] night
Watching shadows on the wall [E] from reflections [F#] of [B] headlights.
All my heroes dead me in elusive shades of [C#] grey.
Close your eyes and go to [E] sleep now.
I can still [F#] hear my heart say [B] yes.

[B] But [G#m] I was stubborn and I was sorry [C#m] for the answers.
[E] I thought that [F#] was me, but the [G#] jokes weren't [B] fair.
[G#m] When the joke was over, [C#m] the laughter had died down.
All the [E] questions [G#] still remain, [F#] and I'm [B] wondering.
