C                               F             C
Rowing the campground up by the lake where we swam.
        F           C 
We were hunting for snakes,
        F            C     
But we couldn't find them.
C               
Surrounded by nothing,
                   F            C
But the nothing's surrounded by us.
              F         C
But it's just me in my room,
F         C
With my eyes shut.
(Chorus)

Am    C
Oh when I was seventeen,
   F      C         
My mother said to me
Am         C             F                      C   
Don't stop imagining The day that you do is the day that you die.
    Am       C
Now I pull a wanton carriage,
   F                   C     
Instead of the horses, grazing along.
Am    C    
I was having fun.
F                  C
We were all having fun.

Am  C  F  C (x2)

C                                                F        C
My brain kicking faster than I can, but not fast enough.
F               C
Who is there to talk to
     F             C
That won't lock me up?
   C                                 F                    C
At least God doesn't judge me by the thoughts that aren't mine.
           F          C
The snakes I couldn't find,
  F             C
I don't want to find.

C   Am   F   C (4x)
Ohhhhh

(Chorus)

Am    C
Oh when I was seventeen,
   F      C         
My mother said to me
Am         C             F                      C   
Don't stop imagining The day that you do is the day that you die.
    Am       C
Now I pull a wanton carriage,
   F                   C     
Instead of the horses, grazing along.
Am    C    
I was having fun.
F                  C
We were all having fun.
