VERSE

F#                                 E
   Right now the world looks so exciting
F#                                 E
   But that first rung it feels so cold
F#                              E
   The air up there looks so inviting
E                                  F#
   You'll do the rest when you are old

F#                                 E
   The printed pictures they stain your hands
F#                              E
   It's like a memory you don't own
F#                          E
   The architecture of your grand plans
E                              F#
   Designed to put you on the throne
F#                           Eadd9
   The bitter taste of the unknown

CHORUS
         E                                  B
   I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing
   E                            B
   Trying to bring to life your dreams
         E                                  Abm7             F#
   I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one who believes

BRIDGE

F# E x2 (Half an intro)

VERSE 2:

F#                              E
   I don't know if you're gonna make it
F#                              E
   How many girls you're gonna know
F#                                 E
   I don't know if you'll pay your dad back
E                                  F#
   With front row tickets to your show
F#                                 E
   Right now your snare drum is a trash can
F#                                 E
   Your bedroom shadows are your stage
F#                                 E
   Your old best friend he is your one fan
E                                  F#
   He'll watch the light inside you fade

CHORUS:
         E                                  B
   I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing
   E                            B
   Trying to bring to life your dreams
         E                                  Abm7             F#
   I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one who believes


         E                                  B
   I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing
   E                            B
   Trying to bring to life your dreams
         E                                  Abm7             F#
   I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one who believes
