Save Your Generation

F        C#     E           B
I have a present: it is the present.
F#      D#          E         B
You have to learn to find it within you.
F           C#       E
If you can learn to love it,
                B
You just might like it.
F#              D#
You can't live without it.
        E              B
There's a million open windows.
    F#                 D#
I'm passing these open windows.
   E                   B
I'm passing these open windows.
F        C#       E     B
There is plenty to criticize.
F#         D#                     E   B
It gets so easy to narrow these eyes.
F         C#   E          B
But these eyes will stay wide.
F#          D#
I will stay young.
Continues after the ad
E               B
Young and dumb inside.
F#           D#      E         B      F# B F# B
I have just begun to forget my lines.



F#           D#
If you could save yourself,
C#                B
you could save us all.
G#     B                       F# B F# B
Go on living, prove us wrong.
F#           D#          C#              B
Your leap of faith could be a well-timed smile.
D     C# E     B                 F# B F# B
Survival never goes out of style.


F        C#       E         B
I have a message: save your generation.
F#            D#        E            B
We're killing each other by sleeping in.
D    C#   E        B
Finnegan, begin again.
F#               D#
This one can be won.
E              B
One can become two.
F#                D#
Two can pick and choose.
E                B      F# B F# B
You could be the first.


[chorus]

F#          D        E               C#
You have to learn to learn from your mistakes.
F#          D     E             C#
You can afford to lose a little face.
F#             D
The things you break,
E             C#
Some can't be replaced.
F#        D    C#                      F# B F# B
A simple rule: every day be sure you wake.
