The Situation

E               A 
It's getting hotter and 
E              A 
I'm getting hotter too (yeah) 
E         A                  E 
It's not forever, know I'll peak 
                A 
And then it's all downhill from there 


 
E         A 
Years go by and the 
E            A 
Tears you cry become 
E              A 
Part of the routine 
          E                    A 
It's your birthday, you're not eighteen 


         E                A 
It's the reality of the situation 
E                A 
It's a morbid infatuation 
            E         A              F#m 
And then I close my eyes and make a wish 
              A 
And blow the candles out 
              E      A 
Don't wanna ruin a celebration 
           E       Amaj7 
There's a final destination 
        E      A 
We get older then we die 
     F#m                     A 
And there's nothing you can do about it 



N.C. 
Sha-la, la-la, sha-la, la-la 
Sha-la, la, nothing you can do 



          E                       A 
And I'm standing in front of the amusement park 
E                               A 
Holding on the ticket, wishing up to the stars 
          E            A 
I see my ride pulling up 
E                     A 
Well, I guess it's goodbye for now 
      E                 A 
So I throw my hands up high 
    E              A 
I might as well enjoy this ride 
E                      A 
Falling down, I'm not scared anymore 
E                     A 
Some things are just out of my control 


E         A 
Years go by and the 
E         A 
Tears you cry become 
E            A 
Part of the routine 
          E                   A 
It's your birthday, you're not eighteen 


          E               Amaj7 
It's the reality of the situation 
        E       Amaj7 
It's a morbid infatuation 
             E Emaj7 Amaj7          F#m 
And then I close my eyes and make a wish 
                Amaj7 
And blow the candles out 
            E       Amaj7 
Don't wanna ruin a celebration 
          E      Amaj7 
There's a final destination 
        E      Amaj7 
We get older then we die 
          F#m                    Amaj7 
And there's nothing you can do about it 


N.C. 
My life keeps flashing in my eyes 
I think of giving up, I've tried 
Seeing what's on the other side 
But I can't get off the ride 
E           A               E 
I throw my hands up to the sky 
           A 
I look to God and I ask Her 
E                     A           E 
"Why does it always end in goodbye?" 
N.C. 
Bye 


            E            Amaj7 
It's the reality of the situation 
       Emaj7      Amaj7 
It's a morbid infatuation 
       E       Amaj7           F#m 
And I close my eyes and make a wish 
              Amaj7 
And blow the candles out 
             E         Amaj7 
Don't wanna ruin a celebration 
           E         Amaj7 
There's a final destination 
         E    Amaj7 
We get older then we die 
     F#m                        Amaj7 
And there's nothing you can do about it
