      B5  G5  G#5  A5 

 
  
     B5 G5    G#5         G5 
Year one,  was lots of fun 
    B5               G5      G#5   G5 
But nothin' lasts forever in my dreams 
    B5 G5  G#5          G5 
And two,  I followed you 
  B5                 G5          G#5     G5 
Because you knew the way or so it seemed 
    B5   G5  G#5         G5 
And three,  I still believed 
     B5            G5         G#5 G5 
That we would be becoming destiny 
    B5  G5   G#5    G5 
And four,  I wanted more 
    B5              G5           G#5    A5 
But you were movin' on to better things 

   B5      C#5       D5      E5 
At twenty-five, and still alive 
     F#5            G5          G#5  A5 
Much longer than expected for a man 
   B5      C#5       D5       E5 
At twenty-five, all hope has died 
        G5           D5                F#5 
And the glass of my intentions turns to sand 
                 B5 G5 G#5 G5 
And shatters in my hand 
        B5 G5 G#5 A5 
Oh, oh, oh 
  
        B5 
Five to six, a lie, a kiss 
    B5 
The secrets that were served we'd never say 
        B5 
Skip to eight, we called it fate 
   B5 
To live, to let us die another day 
    B5  G5   G#5       G5 
And nine,  I saw the signs  
   B5            G5         G#5  G5 
Reflected in the barrel of a gun 
B5 G5      G#5      G5 
Ten,  we're here again 
B5                 G5              G#5  A5 
Those who loved me burned up in the sun 
  
   B5      C#5       D5      E5 
At twenty-five, and still alive 
     F#5            G5          G#5  A5 
Much longer than expected for a man 
   B5      C#5       D5       E5 
At twenty-five, all hope has died 
        G5           D5                F#5 
And the glass of my intentions turns to sand 
                 B5 G5 G#5 G5 
And shatters in my hand 
             B5 G5 G#5 A5 
Shatters in my hand 
  
D5       A       B5       A5       G5    F#5      E5  A5 
   From eleven, twelve, I held the future in my grasp 
D5            A        B5       A5        G5     F#5        E5   A5 
   And all through my teens, I screamed I may not live much past 
       B5   G5  G#5     G5 
Twenty-one, two, three, four 
       B5   G5  G#5     G5 
Twenty-one, two, three, four 
       B5   G5  G#5     G5 
Twenty-one, two, three, four 

One, two, three, four 
  
   B5      C#5       D5      E5 
At twenty-five, and still alive 
     F#5            G5          G#5  A5 
Much longer than expected for a man 
   B5      C#5       D5       E5 
At twenty-five, all hope has died 
        G5           D5 
And the glass of my intentions 
    A5            B5 
The glass of my intentions 
    G5           D5                F#5 
The glass of my intentions turns to sand 
                 B5 G5 G#5 G5 
And shatters in my hand 
  
( B5  G5  G#5  G5 ) 

             B5 G5 G#5 G5 
Shatters in my hand 
    B5  G5 G#5 
In my hand
