Intro
Verse 1
I had a place to live in
I had a job worth quitting
I had some things I had to change
Mistakes but we all make them
We celebrate being young
I had the chance to run away
Refrain
And I wish upon a satellite
that wrong can't
turn to right believe me
Chorus 1
Then we are (then we are)
our only chance in the world
Face your failures hope
they'll see us through
We are (we are) our only
chance in the world
So stand for something
cause somethings over due
And I don't ask for much
But this could de fine a lifetime
A dead man's hands we are
the only friends we ever had
Post Chorus:
Verse 2
They called it education
I saw a means to an end
I saw my life another way
To live and die
a king i thought
There could be worse
fates to land upon
And I'd go back home when
it all blew up in my face
(Repeat Refrain)
Chorus 2
Then we are (then we are)
our only chance in the world
Face your failures hope
they'll see us through
We are (we are) our only
chance in the world
So stand for something
cause somethings over due
And I don't ask for much
But this could de fine a lifetime
A dead man's hands we are
the only friends we ever had
Bridge
You need a map to see how far
I was sticking out my neck
We all have things that
we all second guess
And fears of being ordinary
Guitar solo
x2
(Repeat Refrain)
Chorus 3
Then we are (then we are)
our only chance in the world
Face your failures hope
they'll see us through
We are (we are) our only
chance in the world
So stand for something
cause somethings over due
And I don't ask for much
But this could de fine a lifetime
A dead man's hands we are
the only friends we ever had
A dead man's hands we are
the only friends we ever had
