A
I saw the best minds of my generation
F#m
Passed out in their prime
E D A
Cuz we were waiting for a suitable time for waking up
A
I must have looked in your eyes about two thousand times
F#m
But I never saw a sign
E D A
No nothing to say, this was a time for giving up
D A
And if you somehow you still believe in love try not to let it hurt so bad
F#m
Don't you know that you always
E D A
Had everything that you need
D
If there's something in the stars above besides
A (stop) F#m (stop)
Our sentiments, and masses of gasses
E D A
I would swear, it still wouldn't have shown itself to me
A
But why should it?
(pause)
A Abm F#m F#m E F#m E
F#m
I had a dream about parking lots,
E
And shopping malls, and lies
F#m
The only words anyone could muster
E
Were just goodbyes, goodbyes, goodbyes,
D
And ain't I ashamed, and ain't I ashamed
A E (12th) D
To engage in these infantile notions of pain
A E (12th) D
When we wake up it's always the same
F A
Though I hope everything is okay
A Abm F#m F#m E F#m E F#m E F#m E
A
I took a walk in your shoes
You know that I got the blues
F#m
Thinking bout how there's this wall
E
They made climbers of us all
D Dm
Till we eventually fall and
A
So you talk about your ideals
Like they're not how you feel
F#m
Like they're a dream you hold inside
E D A
An old plan left unrealized until the day that it died
D
Well if you're waiting on the world to change
A
Don't waste you precious heart
F#m
Oh, I know that you are too
E D A
Smart to think that it will
D
That sure is one way to live
A
But one day something has got to give
F#m
And if you're not ready
E D A
Well you're sure to fancy yourself, oh so still
F#m E F#m E
F#m
So don't try so hard
E
For things that haven't come yet
F#m E
Don't live your life like it's already gone
F#m
Don't listen too closely
E
It's nobody, just trying to make them self feel better with a song
