[Verse 1]
[C]When we were kids,
our dreams were in[Am]vincible,
[C]When we were young,
our whole lives [Am]ahead of us,
And it was [Dm]well understood

we all become [Am]famous,
Let's [C]not pretend,
there's more to [Am]this then we hoped for,

You [E]fail it,

It's [Bb]well on it's way, [Gm]well understood,
And [Eb]you have a place,
[F]to be [C](when we wer[Em]e you[Gm]ng),
Time on our hands,
Still [F]out [Dm]of our h[Am]ands,
just like [C]rain [Em](it rained so [Gm]hard),
Time ran away, and [Dm]left [Gm]us a[Em]fraid,

Your par[Am]ents are proud,
You've [C]got everything,
No pas[Am]sion at hand,
You'll [C]be Ivy League,
[Dm]It's more probable,
We all become [Gm]salesmen,
[G]You [F]know it,
You [E]fear it,
Me[Em]diocrity.[F]

[Verse 5]
It's [Bb]well on it's way, [Gm]well understood,
And [Eb]this is your [Bb]life,[Am][Bb][Eb]

[Verse 6]
I hope you [F#]find [F]contentment,
I pray you [Em]find [C]an [Gm]answer,

[F]Revel[F#]ation.

[Verse 7]
When [Bb]we (when we
[Gm]were young) were,
[Eb]Time on our hands,
Still [Ab]out of our hands,
Just like [Bb]rain (it rained
[Gm]so hard)[Eb]
Time ran away, and [Ab]left us [Bb]afraid.
[F#][Ab][Dm]
