F#m                            Bm
Everyone's afraid of their own life
F#m
If you could be anything you want
      Bm                          F#m   Bm
I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right?
F#m                               Bm
No one really knows the ones they love
F#m
If you knew everything they thought
           Bm                                   F#m Bm
I bet that you would wish that they'd just shut up

Well, you were the dull sound of sharp math when you were alive

No one's going to play the harp when you die
F#m                       Bm
And if I had a nickel for every damn dime
F#m                            Bm
I'd have half the time, do you mind?

Am I right? Am I right? Am I right?

It's hard to remember
     G/D       Bm     G/D Bm  C
