The verse plays just like the intro
VERSE
F# E
Right now the world looks so exciting
F# E
But that first rung it feels so cold
F# E
The air up there looks so inviting
E F#
You'll do the rest when you are old
F# E
The printed pictures they stain your hands
F# E
It's like a memory you don't own
F# E
The architecture of your grand plans
E F#
Designed to put you on the throne
F# Eadd9
The bitter taste of the unknown
CHORUS
E B
I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing
E B
Trying to bring to life your dreams
E Abm7 F#
I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one who believes
BRIDGE
F# E x2 (Half an intro)
VERSE 2:
F# E
I don't know if you're gonna make it
F# E
How many girls you're gonna know
F# E
I don't know if you'll pay your dad back
E F#
With front row tickets to your show
F# E
Right now your snare drum is a trash can
F# E
Your bedroom shadows are your stage
F# E
Your old best friend he is your one fan
E F#
He'll watch the light inside you fade
CHORUS:
E B
I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing
E B
Trying to bring to life your dreams
E Abm7 F#
I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one who believes
E B
I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing
E B
Trying to bring to life your dreams
E Abm7 F#
I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one who believes
