Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

When I was young

I thought I had my own key

I knew exactly

What I wanted to be

Now I'm sure

You've boarded up every door

Lived in a bubble

Days were never ending

Was not concerned

About what life was sending

Fantasy was real

Now I know much about the way I feel

I'll paint you the picture

'Cause I don't think

You live round here no more

 I've never even seen

 The key to the door

We only get what we will settle for

While we're living

 The dreams we have as children fade away

While we're living

The dreams we have as children fade away

While we're living

The dreams we have as children fade away

While we're living

The dreams we have as children fade away away away

They fade away away away

 Repeat intro chords here: , , , , ,

Now my life has turned

Another corner

I think it's only best

That I should warn you

Dream it while you can

Maybe someday I'll make you understand

I'll paint you the picture

'Cause I don't think

You live round here no more

 I've never even seen

 The key to the door

We only get what we will settle for

While we're living

 The dreams we have as children fade away

While we're living

The dreams we have as children fade away

While we're living

The dreams we have as children fade away

While we're living

The dreams we have as children fade away away away

They fade away away away

They fade away away away

They fade away away away

Fade away away away
