      Am  C/G  G  Fmaj7 



Am                  C/G 
Dying seems like an ancient tale 
  G                Fmaj7 
A drunkard told me once 
        Am 
For you grew up fast 
    C/G 
And grew up weak 
    G            Fmaj7 
You never land a punch 
       Am               C/G 
In the coldness of your eyes 
          G               Fmaj7 
I see the type of man you are 
Am               C/G 
   Too afraid to be the same 
    G                   Fmaj7 
Too afraid to stray too far

   Am               C/G 
We drove that night to the town 
          G                   Fmaj7 
Where the old folks curse the new 
Am               C/G 
   Never thought we would hold 
          G                  Fmaj7 
Something borrowed something blue 
Am              C/G 
Memories last a lifetime 
       G                Fmaj7 
But in my mind this was it 
  Am             C/G 
I look up to the milky way 
    G             Fmaj7 
And dream of what exists 



C/G         Am 
Why walk when we can run 
G                   Fmaj7 
 You never date the youngest son 
             C/G            Am 
(But if you) Heed the word of every man 
G                         Fmaj7 
 You’ll never leave their promised land 
           C/G         Am 
(But it’s) Hoping in the corners of your mind 
       G 
You’ll see the way I see 
    Fmaj7                       C/G 
And shine like you can shine 
                   Am               G  Fmaj7 
I wish for you the best of life can be

   Am               C/G 
Some people try to run away 
          G                   Fmaj7 
By staying deadly still 
Am               C/G 
With you I’ve earned a different path 
          G                  Fmaj7 
We can put that in our will 
Am              C/G 
You could spend a lifetime 
       G                Fmaj7 
Blowing dreams and cigarettes 
  Am             C/G 
For you I put the lighter down 
    G             Fmaj7 
And cashed in all my bets 



C/G         Am

G                   Fmaj7

 You’ll never leave their promised land 
           C/G         Am 
(But it’s) Hoping in the corners of your mind 
       G 
You’ll see the way I see 
    Fmaj7                       C/G 
And shine like you can shine 
                   Am               G  Fmaj7 
I wish for you the best of life can be
