Verse:
 D#         Em             D#
How many years will I waste in desperation
      D#                          D#
 destined to be what I alwaaaays was
 D#         Em           D#
Spent 20 years listening to congregations
         D#              Em                D#
Singing songs about a special kind of love

Verse:
 D#             Em          D#
Now that I'm older I begin to recognize
       D#               E            D#
Manipulation doesn't always look so bad

 Maybe now I'll find redemption at an altar

Finally reconcile all the good with all the bad

                       D#            Em                 D#
Most days I wann run away to some dark and distant land
D#         Em                  D#
 Find a town where no one knows who I'm the son of
        D#               E               D#
Have a smoke, stay in love, start a band

D#        E            D#
Find a new way to say the things I'm feeling
       D#              E            D#
Maybe write a happy song before I diе

D#          Em                D#
 Tried a time or two and all I've got to show
            D#                 E               D#          D#
Is four guitars a diffеrent dream and too much pride


Chorus:
     D#
Ohh sometimes
                                   D#       D#
I speak and sound exactly like my father
          D#
Standing tall
                                       Bm      E
On a stage somewhere screaming out in vain

        D#
In the end
                               D#       D#
Most days I wonder why I ever bother

           D#
Tryin' to live
        E
In the shadow
       D#     D#
Of my name

D#   Em    D#
D#       D#


Outro:
D#                            D#
 I'm on the verge of givin' up
                          D#
Most days I want to run away
         E                     D#
To some dark and distant land
