Verse 1:
A augmentedA                      C# minorC#m
Born in the free land, brought up by soft hands
G+G                      B minorBm
Cruisin' the left lane
A augmentedA                 C# minorC#m
Paint by numbers, results in numbness say numbers
E minor 7Em7         D MajorD
Go the game plan
A augmentedA                  E MajorE
Silver tongues and rusty lungs
G+G                         D MajorD
My love and hate relation, a velvet generation


Chorus:
A minorAm          C majorC
Too rich to try
G+G               D MajorD
But too poor to buy

Too smart to fool yourself into thinking that this is the life
A minorAm                  C majorC
You're too young to reach
G+G              D MajorD
But too old to teach

We got everything, or do we have nothing at all?

Sweetest candy gets a sugar coat

We hit the ground running on a perfect road
A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
Give me love, give me real
E minor 7Em7               D MajorD
Give me something I can feel, now
A augmentedA              C# minorC#m
Senses are all bubble wrapped
G+G                       D MajorD
All high on medication, a blurry generation
