I only [Gm] wanted to have [C] fun learning to [F] fly, learning to [Bb] run I let my [Gm] heart decide the way [A] When I as [Dm] young [D]

Deep down I [Gm] must have always [C] known That this would be [F] inevitable [Bb] To earn my [Gm] stripes I’d have to [A] pay And bear my [Dm] soul

[C] [Bb]Hmm… [Dm] [C] [Bb]Hmm… [Dm] [C] [Bb]Hmm… [Dm]

[A] I know I’m [Gm] not the only [C] one Who [F] regrets the things they’ve [Bb] done Sometimes I just [Gm] feel it’s only [A] me Who can’t stand the [Dm] reflection that they [D] see

I wish I could [Gm] live a little [C] more Look up to the [F] sky, not just the [Bb] floor I feel like my [Gm] light is flashing [A] by And all I can [Dm] do is watch and [D] cry

I miss the [Gm] air, I miss my [C] friends I miss my [F] mother; I miss it [Bb] when Life was a [Gm] party to be [A] thrown But that was a [Dm] [C]million [Bb] years [A]ago [Dm]

[Dm] [C] [Bb] [A] [Dm] When I walk [Gm] around all of the [C] streets Where I grew [F] up and found my [Bb] feet They can’t [Gm] look me in the [A] eye It’s like they’re [Dm] scared of [D] me I try to [Gm] think of things to [C] say Like a [F] joke or a [Bb] memory But they don’t [Gm] recognize me [A] now In light of [Dm] day

[C] [Bb]Hmm… [Dm] [C] [Bb]Hmm… [Dm] [C] [Bb]Hmm… [Dm]

[A] I know I’m [Gm] not the only [C] one Who [F] regrets the things they’ve [Bb] done Sometimes I just [Gm] feel it’s only [A] me Who never [Dm] became who they thought they’d [D] be

I wish I could [Gm] live a little [C] more Look up to the [F] sky, not just the [Bb] floor I feel like my [Gm] light is flashing [A] by And all I can [Dm] do is watch and [D] cry

I miss the [Gm] air, I miss my [C] friends I miss my [F] mother; I miss it [Bb] when Life was a [Gm] party to be [A] thrown But that was a [Dm] [C]million [Bb] years [A]ago [Dm] A [Dm] [C]million [Bb] years [A]ago [Dm]
