The Near Future II. Eighteen Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Eighteen at [G]a traffic light I've got
Nowhere to be on a Friday night
I've got it [F]all[C]
I've got nothing
[G]

[Verse 2]
Summer's here and I'm finally free,
I've got
No work to do and no one to see
I've got it [F]all[C]
I've got noth[G]ing

[Verse 3]
[G]
Eighteen is a funny age I've got
So many dreams and an empty page
I've got it [F]all[C]
Because I've got nothing
[G]

[Verse 4]
Everybody [Em]knows what I [C]should do
Everybody [G]works so I should [D]too
How do I ex[Em]plain what
feels [C]so wrong?
Dealing with [G]the shame of
knowing [D]you don't
belong
[Em]So you try t[C]o smile and
hope that [D]you won't
always [Em]be
[D]Alone with [C]your dreams
Living in [D]between
Eight[G]een...

[Interlude 1]
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
Eighteen yet I [G]feel so old like a
Bright screen with a paper soul
I've seen it [F]all[C]
I've seen [G]nothing

[Verse 6]
[G]
Eighteen with a car that drives and a
Strange need just to feel alive
I've [F]seen it [C]all
I've seen [G]nothing

[Verse 7]
[G]
Have you heard its a golden
age? Go get your
Golden view from your golden cage
[F]I've seen it [C]all
Because I've seen [G]nothing

[Verse 8]
Everybody [Em]knows what I [C]should do
Everybody [G]works so I [D]should too
How do I ex[Em]plain what
feels [C]so wrong?
Dealing with [G]the shame of
knowing [D]you don't
belong
[Em]So you try to sm[C]ile and
hope that [D]you won't
always [Em]be
[D]Alone with your [C]dreams
Living in between
[D]

[Verse 9]
Everybody [Em]does just what
[C]they're told
Everybody [G]buys just what they're [D]sold
How do I es[Em]cape what I can't [C]see?
How do I re[G]place the
[D]broken parts of me?
[Em]No, you try [C]to smile and
hope that [D]you won't
always [Em]be
Alone with [D]your [C]dreams
Living in [D]between
