[Intro]
Em C G G/F#
[Verse 1]
Em C G G/F#
Green ties pull tight like nooses
Em C Dsus2
Hands shake, I’m taken in
Em C G G/F#
Dreams die in time I lose it
Em C Dsus2
Farewell my innocence
[Verse 2]
Am D
My worth is measured in signs
G G/F# Em
Next to numbers on a line
Am D
These walls have ruined my eyes
G G/F# Cmaj7
There's no end of this in sight
[Chorus]
Em C G G/F#
Is this all I dreamed of
Em C Dadd4
When I was young and fearless
Am Em Cmaj7 G
Now my days slip by from nine to five
Em C Dadd4
And I, I can’t do this
Em C Dadd4
No I, I can’t do this
[Solo]
Em C G G/F#
Em C Dsus2
[Verse 3]
Em C G G/F#
Green eyes entice, excuses
Em C Dsus2
Hands shake, I’m caving in
Em C G G/F#
White lies divide, I choose this
Em C Dsus2
Farewell my faithfulness
[Verse 4]
Am D
I’ve been seduced by my greed
G G/F# Em
And my mistress calling me
Am D
My fingers scratch till they bleed*
G G/F# Cmaj7
But don’t I deserve what makes me happy
[Chorus]
Em C G G/F#
Is this all I dreamed of
Em C Dadd4
When I was young and fearless
Am Em Cmaj7 G
Now my days slip by from nine to five
Em C Dadd4
And I, I can’t do this
Em C Dadd4
No I, I can’t do this
[Solo]
Am Em G D/F#
[Bridge]
Am Em G D/F#
I don’t see how this could be worth living for
Am Em G D/F#
I don’t see, there has to be something more than this
[Chorus]
Em C G G/F#
Is this all I dreamed of
Em C Dadd4
When I was young and fearless
Am Em Cmaj7 G
Now my days slip by from nine to five
Em C Dadd4
And I, I can’t do this
Em C Dadd4 Em
No I, I can’t do this
