Verse 1: B5 G5 G#5 G5
Year one
was lots of fun
B5 G5 G#5 G5
But nothin' lasts forever in my dreams
B5 G5 G#5 G5
And two
I followed you
B5 G5 G#5 G5
Because you knew the way or so it seemed
B5 G5 G#5 G5
And three
I still believed
B5 G5 G#5 G5
That we would be becoming destiny
B5 G5 G#5 G5
And four
I wanted more
B5 G5 G#5 A5
But you were movin' on to better things
B5 C#5 D5 E5
At twenty-five, and still alive
F#5 G5 G#5 A5
Much longer than expected for a man
B5 C#5 D5 E5
At twenty-five, all hope has died
G5 D5 F#5
And the glass of my intentions turns to sand
B5 G5 G#5 G5
And shatters in my hand
B5 G5 G#5 A5
Oh, oh, oh
Verse 1: B5
Five to six, a lie, a kiss
B5
The secrets that were served we'd never say
B5
Skip to eight, we called it fate
B5
To live, to let us die another day
B5 G5 G#5 G5
And nine
I saw the signs
B5 G5 G#5 G5
Reflected in the barrel of a gun
B5 G5 G#5 G5
Ten
we're here again
B5 G5 G#5 A5
Those who loved me burned up in the sun
B5 C#5 D5 E5
At twenty-five, and still alive
F#5 G5 G#5 A5
Much longer than expected for a man
B5 C#5 D5 E5
At twenty-five, all hope has died
G5 D5 F#5
And the glass of my intentions turns to sand
B5 G5 G#5 G5
And shatters in my hand
B5 G5 G#5 A5
Shatters in my hand
Bridge:D5 A B5 A5 G5 F#5 E5 A5
From eleven, twelve
I held the future in my grasp
D5 A B5 A5 G5 F#5 E5 A5
And all through my teens
I screamed I may not live much past
B5 G5 G#5 G5
Twenty-one, two, three, four
B5 G5 G#5 G5
Twenty-one, two, three, four
B5 G5 G#5 G5
Twenty-one, two, three, four
One, two, three, four
B5 C#5 D5 E5
At twenty-five, and still alive
F#5 G5 G#5 A5
Much longer than expected for a man
B5 C#5 D5 E5
At twenty-five, all hope has died
G5 D5
And the glass of my intentions
A5 B5
The glass of my intentions
G5 D5 F#5
The glass of my intentions turns to sand
B5 G5 G#5 G5
And shatters in my hand
( B5 G5 G#5 G5 )
B5 G5 G#5 G5
Shatters in my hand
B5 G5 G#5
In my hand
