Key:
D G I'm Feelin rough I'm Feelin raw
D Dsus2 D I'm in the prime of my life.
D Let's make some music make some
G D money find some models for wives.
Dsus2 D
D I'll move to Paris, shoot some
G D heroin and fuck with the stars.
Dsus2 D
D G You man the island and the
D Dsus2 D cocaine and the elegant cars. [Pre-chorus 1]
G This is our decision to live fast and die young. We've got the vision, now let's have
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 some fun
G Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do? Get jobs in offices and wake up for
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 the morning commute? [Chorus 1]
Continues after the ad
A Forget about our mothers and our
F#m friends.
G A D We were fated to pretend.
G D to pretend.
G D We were fated to pretend.
G D to pretend. [Verse 2]
D I'll miss the playgrounds and the
G D Dsus2 D animals and digging up worms.
D G I'll miss the comfort of my
D mother and the weight of the
Dsus2 D world.
D G I'll miss my sister, miss my
D Dsus2 D father, miss my dog and my home.
D Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the
G D freedom and the time spent
Dsus2 D alone. [Pre-chorus 2]
G But there is really nothing, nothing we can do. Love must be forgotten. Life can
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 always start up anew.
G The models will have children, we'll get a divorce, we'll find some more models,
D Dsus2 Everything must run its course.
D Dsus2 [Chorus 2]
A We'll choke on our vomit and that
F#m will be the end.
G A D We were fated to pretend.
G D to pretend.
G D We were fated to pretend.
G D to pretend.
