[Intro]
F# C#
F# C#
C#
In my short time I've realized
C#
That there is so much more to life
C#
Than getting older, and getting mine
F#
This is my ready, set, let go attempt
F#
At finding who I am
C#
And I'll be brief
C#
So listen closely...
[Verse 1]
F#
I've learned not to talk through movies
F#
When I still don't know the lines
C#
I've learned who not to ask advice from
C#
When I can't make up my mind
F#
When times get tough I've learned
F#
That breathing is the best thing I can do
C#
And I've learned letting go of friends
C#
Is something I won't get used to
F#
I've learned a fair amount about the world
F#
Of women and of love
C#
I've learned that money doesn't always mean
C#
Deserving one or both of the above...
[Pre-Chorus]
F#
I've learned it's hard to be alone when you're alive
C#
But somehow I have learned that we won't be alone
C#
When we all reach the other side...
F# Bbm Fm G# Fm
Something in my heart is telling me I've learned to love who I've become
G# D#m
I know my learning isn't done
[Chorus]
F# Bbm G# D#m F# Bbm
But oh, I'm afraid I will never quite under-stand...
G# F# Bbm
The way I wish I could know
G# D#m F# Bbm
Every-thing I would ever need just in case
G# D#m Fm C#
I ever lose my way
[Verse 2]
F#
I've learned not to lie to people
F#
Who know me better than my words
C#
And I believe I've learned to filter out
C#
The voices in my head (But I'm still not sure)...
F#
I've learned failure's not an option
F#
It's frowned upon and rude...
C#
And giving up before the bell
C#
Is something I've learned not to do
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F#
I've learned how to keep my head
F#
Above the water line in desperate times
C#
I've learned to swim when someone lonely
C#
Ties an anchor to my leg in spite...
F#
I've learned to fight
F#
The difference between wrong and right
F#
and how to sleep at night...
C#
You know I still don't have that cartridge
Bbm D#m F#
But I'm learning how to live in black and white
[Chorus]
F# Bbm G# D#m F#
But oh, I'm afraid I will never quite understand
Bbm G# F# Bbm
The way I wish I could know
G# D#m F# Bbm G#
Everything I would ever need just in case
D#m C#
I ever lose my way

[Outro]
F# C# Fm F#
Golden We are golden because we're alive
G# Bbm
We are nothing without our goodbyes
G# F#
Illuminate our own way from inside
F#
We shine so bright, we shine so...
C# Fm F#
Golden, We are golden because we're alive
G# Bbm
We are nothing without our goodbyes
G# F#
Illuminate our own way from inside
F#
We shine so bright, we shine so...
C# Fm F#
Golden, We are golden because we're alive
G# Bbm
We are nothing without our goodbyes
G# F#
Illuminate our own way from inside
F#
We shine so bright, we shine so...
C# Fm F#
Golden, We are golden because we're alive
G# Bbm
We are nothing without our goodbyes
G# F#
Illuminate our own way from inside
We shine so bright, we shine so...
