Eb
You wanted that fast life
                            Gm
No frills till the back nine
                Cm
Didn't take too long
                 Ab
But you knew all along
              Eb
One day you'd get there
                          Gm
So glad you could make it
                      Cm
But tell me what went wrong

Did you think about whats
Ab             Gm
On the other side

[Verse 1]
Eb
I used to be so damn old
Gm                     Cm
Never been this young before
         Ab                      Eb
When I feared what I'm afraid of
                            Gm
Staring it right in the face
                             Cm
The next few years till the grave
             Ab               Eb
Or in other words, twenty-four


[Chorus]
Eb            Gm           Cm
Ooooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooooh
                           Ab
Who knew the dark and scary
                     Eb
Would be so ordinary?
Eb            Gm           Cm
Ooooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooooh
                           Abm
Who knew the dark and scary
            Abm
Would be so ordinary?

[Verse 2]
              Eb
You want that freedom
                         Gm
Weekdays like the weekend
                            Cm
Won't breathe the first line

Thought it's only forty meters
              Ab
But life's a marathon race
                            Eb
And you can't see the leader

Oh, and by the way
     Gm
You just can't break that ball and chain
      Cm
It's keeping you afloat
           Ab
Should've took some time
    Gm                 Eb
Before the gun's smoke

[Bridge]
                         Gm
So just keep your head down
                                 Cm
Keep both your feet on the ground
                    Ab
Run with people around
              Eb
Feel better now?


[Chorus]
Eb            Gm           Cm
Ooooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooooh
                           Ab
Who knew the dark and scary
                     Eb
Would be so ordinary?
Eb            Gm           Cm
Ooooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooooh
                           Abm
Who knew the dark and scary
                     Eb
Would be so ordinary?

[Outro]
                        Gm
It just might take your whole life
                     Cm
Before you take a bow
                           Ab
Who knew the dark and scary
                      Eb
Would be so ordinary?
                  Gm
So good luck, kid
                      Cm
I hope you see it was worth it
                           Abm
Who knew the dark and scary
                      Eb
Would be so ordinary?
