[Verse 1]
Em7 A6 Em7
You take the name of a man you hardly know,
A6 Em7 A6 Em7 A6 A7
And then you grow up, and the name has to go, married, with kids,
A7 A7sus4 Em7 A6 Em7 A6
And they don't want to know about the dreams ...you had to let go,
Em7 A6 Em7 A6
You're still waiting for a knight in shining ar - mour,
Em7 A6 Em7 A6
To steal you against your will,
A7 A7sus4
And while you're waiting, and doing no harm,
Em7 A6 Em7 A6
You know, there's plenty of time to kill!
[Chorus]
G
And when you claim you wouldn't change a day,
G/F# Em
It makes me wonder where I went astray,
Cmaj7
Happy with things that leave me tired,
Bm7 B7#9 Em7 A6 Em7 A6
We're as ...unalike as frost and fire-------------------!

[Verse 2]
Em7 A6 Em7 A6
And now yourself ...you start to see in me,
Em7 A6 Em7 A6
Pictures of things which you could've been,
A7 A7sus4
Torches I find I am bearing for you,
Em7 A6 Em7 A6
When you know ...you could have carried them too,
Em7 A6 Em7 A6 Em7 A6 Em7 A6
We give up so easily ...what little they leave us to lose,
A7 A7sus4
And, if I didn't have the fire to struggle,
Em7 A6 Em7 A6
I could freeze ...in your shoes!
[Chorus]
G
When I say, "I couldn't live that way!",
G/F# Em
You must wonder where I went astray,
Cmaj7
Happy with things that leave me tired,
Bm7 B7#9 Em7 A6 Em7 A6
We're as ...unalike as frost and fire-------------------!
