When they're younger many parents tell their kids that they can be
    G                D                G         A
The president, or an astronaut, or an actor on TV
    D                         E
But no one ever tells a child what they cannot be
      G              D             E             A
So it seems that the responsibility has come to me




♫ Verse 1:
D                              E
Life is just a compromise it's better for your health
    G               D                G           A
You might achieve a smaller dream so look inside yourself
    D                              E
Why do you want the big career and all that fancy stuff?
G               A               D

    D                               E
The moment you stop working out the fat will start to creep
        G             D             G                 A
You can never smoke a cigarette and still die in your sleep
   D                                     E
So you don't have to make the bed you're getting back into
      G                  D                 G               A
Cause life tends towards chaos and there's nothing you can do
    D                            E
And love is just a compromise so you don't have to frown
    G             D                G                    A
And romcoms are a bunch of lies so bring your standards down
D                        E
Sure he's a comedian but being single sucks
G               A               D

♫ Bridge:
F#
Think of what's awaiting you a couple years down the line
Bm                           E
A bunch of emptiness at the success you didn't find
F#
Think of how much happier you would be at that time
       G          D                  D           A
If you never ever failed because you didn't even try


♫ Verse 3:
    D                             E
And life is just a compromise but we don't want to see
    G                  D               G                    A
We write ourselves the movie script of how our lives should be
       D                               E
You're reaching out for happiness when what's inside's enough
G               A               D
