Verse 1:

     G+G     C majorC
I took a long hard look
    G+G      C majorC
At the heroes of my youth
     G+G       C majorC
And their antics on the page there on
  G+G      C majorC
Can no longer sustain me
 G+G         C majorC
Ever since I was a boy
G+G        C majorC
They brought me joy
    G+G        C majorC
But the shackles of the way I was
  G+G      C majorC
Can no longer contain me

Chorus:

     G+G
It was exciting
   Dm7Dm7
And enlightening
 C majorC      BB
Reverberating through my dreams
  C majorC  A minorAm  D MajorD
Goodbye to reality
     C majorC       D*
And set a course for wayward schemes

   G+G           C majorC
I was travelling through the past for years
    G+G       C majorC
Tell me what's my destination
    G+G    C majorC
Now the past is gone
    G+G      C majorC
I don't even have a song
     G+G        C majorC
We've not sung before to a closing door
    G+G       C majorC
Tell me what's my situation?

Chorus:

I saw the film
