[Em] I [A] was sayin' [G] let me out [F#] of here [Em] before I was [A] even born.
[G] It's such a gamble [F#] when you [G] get a piece.
[A] It's fascinating [G] to observe [F#] what the mirror [Bm] does,
but when [A] I dive into [G] the wall that I set in place,
[A] I belong [F#m] to the blank [G] generation,
and [A] I can take [G] it or leave it [F#] each [G] time.
Well, [A] I belong [G] to the generation,
but [F#] I can take [G] it or leave it each time.

So I [A] was a-fallin' [G] out the [F#] window as the [Bm] doctor cursed.

[F#] And so [G] Patrick and I [A] carried our flights [G] of stairs
and [F#] dropped it in the vacant [G] lot.
[A] To lose my [G] train of thought and fall [F#] into your arms,
[B] I had to [A] walk beneath the [G] island every passing night.
[A] I belong to the [G] blank generation,
and [A] I can [G] take it or leave it each time.
Well, [A] I belong to [G] the generation,
but I [F#] can take [Bm] it or leave it each time.
