Verse 1
E5We Started So Young, Our Direction Unknown
Wе Just C#5Fell And We Rose With Thе TA5ides
E5Light-Years From Perfect And Destined To Fail
But It C#5Sure Was A Hell Of A RA5ide
It E5All Seemed So Rad
Drugs And B5Booze On The Tracks
'Til A C#5Friend Turned Up Dead Or In JA5ail
Then E5After A While It Got B5Harder To Smile
Once We C#5Realized We Were Living In HA5ell

Pre-Chorus
G#5For Days 'N Daze We Ran Place To Place To A5Dull The Hate And Pain
But G#5Now The Weights Been Lifted Cause We're A5Circling The B5Drain

Chorus

Verse 2
E5In The Beginning It Was All So Exciting
When We C#5Still Had So Much Left To LA5earn
We'd E5Not Yet Been Jaded, Our Senses Unfaded
When We C#5Still Had Hope Left For The WA5orld
Still Fairly UnE5familiar With Tragedy And B5Armed With A Propensity
For C#5Making The Best Out Of BA5ad
But Our Dispositions E5Far More Dismal Nowadays
BeB5cause Somewhere Along The Way
We C#5Forgot About All The Good Times That We've HA5ad

Pre-Chorus
G#5For Days 'N Daze We Ran Place To Place To A5Dull The Hate And Pain
But G#5Now The Weights Been Lifted Cause We're A5Circling The B5Drain

C#5 If I Could Turn BA5ack Time, RewE5ind The Clocks To YB5esteryear
C#5 I'd Do It AA5ll The Same 'Cause AE5ll The Missteps Got MB5e Here
C#5I've Learned My Lessons, Paid MA5y Dues
The E5Future's Now, No B5Time To Lose
What's C#5Next Is Anybody's GuesA5s And I Can't Wait To FiB5nd OEut
