[Intro]
D Cadd9 Bm11 F#7 G6
D Cadd9 Bm11 G


[Verse]
D                          Cadd9
Chasing the vision through much 
opposition.
  Bm11                     
Recording decisions in an old 
F#7       G6
composition.
D                  Cadd9
Quietly wishing. I keep 
double-fisting.
Bm11                      G
Failure dissolves at the seams.
   D                        
My mom thinks I'm crazy. My dad 
Cadd9
thinks I'm lazy.
   Bm11               F#7       
My future is hazy. I don't let it 
   G6
phase me.
D                           Cadd9
They know they raised me to look 
past what pays me
         Bm11                    G
and find happiness somewhere within.

         D                         
Take the good with the bad and the 
Cadd9
bad with the worst.
Continues after the ad
    Bm11                         
The first with the last and the 
F#7            G6
last with the first
  D                     Cadd9
I always aim up but I'm usually let 
down.
Bm11                    G
Climb the ladders just to fall to 
the ground.
  D                        Cadd9
I keep playing songs to an empty 
room
Bm11                         F#7 
Take my grain of salt rub it all 
       G6
in my wounds
     D                             
I am gonna keep trying while 
  Cadd9
there's blood in my veins.
Bm11                      G  
   Anything worth having     is 
                    A
worth a little pain.


[Chorus]
Bm               D               
     So when I'm old and this 
      G
life has changed.
      A              D      Cadd9 
My memories, they remain.
Bm11 F#7 G6    D Cadd9 Bm11 G



[Verse]
     D                        
Disregarding the bitching of pompous
Cadd9
 musicians
    Bm11                   
who keep on insisting this is 
F#7      G6
competition.
  D                   Cadd9
I quietly listen. Maintain my 
position.
Bm11                    G
We all share the same dreams.
     D                           
So I reach for the stars and put 
Cadd9
safe bets on hold.
    Bm11                       F#7
Let the words Joe speaks bring 
          G6
peace to my soul.
     D                        
My future is unclear but I'm placing
Cadd9
 my bet
     Bm11                         
on a small chance at bliss over a 
G
life of regret.

         D                         
Take the good with the bad and the 
Cadd9
bad with the worst.
    Bm11                        
The first with the last and the 
F#7            G6
last with the first.
  D                     Cadd9
I always aim up but I'm usually let 
down.
Bm11                     G
Climbing ladders just to fall to the
 ground
  D                        Cadd9
I keep playing songs to an empty 
room.
Bm11                         F#7 
Take my grain of salt rub it all 
       G
in my wounds.
     D                             
I am gonna keep trying while 
  Cadd9
there's blood in my veins.
Bm11                      G  
   Anything worth having     is 
                    A
worth a little pain.


[Chorus]
Bm               D               
     So when I'm old and this 
      G
life has changed.
      A              D      Cadd9 
My memories, they remain.
