Am                     C     G
Did you try to work it out
F                      Am               G
On an island somewhere singing with the seagulls
Am                   C     G
Did you wanna wait it out
F                    Am             G
Run away to where the sunlight never ends


[Chorus]
F                      C     G
Well it's fun til it's over
F                      Am              G
Tell yourself a story, something you can laugh at
F                     C     G
But you're always the loner
F                    Am               G
Whipping up emotions too deep for your friends

Em                                G
Growing old while all the rest of us
              F
Were growing up

[Verse 2]
F                        Am     G
Will you tell us how you lived
F                       Am            G
In the weather with the weatherbeaten men
F                         Am    G
Will you tell us what you did
F                  Am                G
Sing us all a song before you leave again


[Chorus]
F                      C      G
Well it's fun til it's over
F                      Am                G
Tell yourself a story, something you can laugh at
F                    C     G
But you're always the loner
F                    C                 G
Whipping up emotions too deep for your friends

Em                                G
Growing old while all the rest of us
             F
Were growing up

[Bridge]
Am              F
Running running from the future
C              G
Everyone knows what you're doing
Am               F
You only get one chance at this
C                G
You only get one chance

Am              F
Running running from the future
C              G
Everyone knows what you're doing
Am               F
Think of all the things you'll miss
C                    G
Think of what you'll miss


[Chorus]
F                       C   G
Well it's fun till it's over
F                      C                 G
Tell yourself a story, something you can laugh at
F                     C     G
But you're always the loner
F                     C                 G
Whipping up emotions too deep for your friends

Em                                G
