Standard (EADGBE)

 teenage dreams in a teenage circus

 running around like a clown on purpose

 who gives a damn about the family you come from

 no giving up when you’re young and you want some

running around again

running from running

 waking up

 in the midday sun

 what’s to live for?

 you could see what I’ve done

 staying out of motion

 in the light of day

 I was hiding

 from the things that you’d say

we are not what you think we are

 we are golden, we are golden

we are not what you think we are

 we are golden, we are golden

 teenage dreams in a teenage circus

 running around like a clown on purpose

 who gives a damn about the family you come from

 no giving up when you’re young and you want some

running around again

running from running

running around again

running from running

 I was a boy

 at an open door

 why you staring

 do you still think that you know

looking for treasure

 in the things that you threw

 like a magpie

 I live for glitter, not you

we are not what you think we are

 we are golden, we are golden

we are not what you think we are

 we are golden, we are golden

 teenage dreams in a teenage circus

 running around like a clown on purpose

 who gives a damn about the family you come from

 no giving up when you’re young and you want some

now I'm sitting alone

 and I'm looking for help

 left here on my own

 I'm gonna hurt myself

 many years have gone by

 I'm still wondering why

 heaven let the world

 let it bleed me dry

we are not what you think we are

we are not what you think we are

we are not what you think we are

we are golden, we are golden
