Intro E7+/9 E9
E7+/9
'Welcome to the real world'
E6/A
She said to me condescendingly
A7M C#m/A
Take a seat, Take your life
G6/9/E G6/E Em9 Em7
Plot it out in black and white
E7+/9
Well I never lived the dreams
E6/A
of the prom kings
And the drama queens
A7M C#m/A
I'd like to think the best of me
F#7/9+
Is still hiding up my sleeve
PRE-CHORUS:
Asus2 F#m/A A5 C#/A
They love to tell you
E7+/9 C#sus4/E
'Stay inside the lines'
Aadd9/F#
But something's better
Aadd9/G# E7+/9
On the other side
Am9 Am9/E
I wanna run through the halls
E7+/9
of my high school
Am9
I wanna scream at the
Am9/E E7+/9
Top of my lungs
Am9
I just found out there's no
Am9/E E7+/9
such thing as the real world
Am9 Am9/E E7+/9
Just a lie you've got to rise above
E7+/9
So the good boys and girls
E6/A
take the so called right track
A7M C#m/A
Faded white hats grabbing credits
Maybe transfers
G6/9/E G6/E
They read all the books but they
Em9 Em7
can't find the answers
E7+/9 E6/A
And all of our parents, They're getting older
A7M C#m/A
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
F#7/9+ A7M/9-/F#
While in their memories tiny tragedies
REPEAT REFRAIN
REPEAT CHORUS
Interlude: F7M/5- A
F7M/5- Aadd9
I am invincible
F7M/5- Aadd9
I am invincible
F7M/5- Aadd9
I am invincible
F7M/5-/G Asus2 F#m/A A5 C#/A
As long as I'm alive
Asus2 F#m/A A5 C#/A
E7+/9
REPEAT CHORUS
Am9 Am9/E E7+/9
I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion
Am9 Am9/E E7+/9
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
Am9 Am9/E E7+/9
And when I stand on these tables before you
Am9 Am9/E E7+/9 E9
You will know what all this time was for
