No Such Thing

"Welcome to the real world," she (Amaj9)said to me condescendingly.

"Take (C#m7)a seat, take your life.

(Em9)Plot it out in black and white."

(Emaj9)Well, I never lived the dreams of the prom kings

and the drama queens.

I'd like to think the (C#m7)best of me

is still hiding (F#7)up my sleeve.

They (Amaj9)love to tell you "Stay inside the lines."

(Amaj9)But (F#7)something's better (Amaj9)on the other side.

I wanna run through the halls of my (Emaj9)high school.

I wanna scream at the top (D7)of my (Emaj9)lungs.

I just found out there's no such (D7)thing as the (Emaj9)real world.

Just a lie (Am)you've got to (D7)rise (Emaj9)above.

So the good boys and girls take the (Amaj9)socalled right track,

faded white hats, grabbing (C#m7)credits and maybe transfers.

They (Em9)read all the books but they can't find the answers.

(Emaj9)And all of our parents,

they're getting older.

I wonder if they've wished for anything (C#m7)better while in their mem'ries,

tiny (F#7)tragedies.

They

(A)I am invincible.

I am invincible.

I am invincible as (G)long as I'm alive.

(F#7)I wanna run through the halls of my (Emaj9)high school.

I wanna scream at the top (D7)of my (Emaj9)lungs.

I just found out there's no such (D7)thing as the (Emaj9)real world.

Just a lie (Am)you've got to (D7)rise (Emaj9)above.

I just can't wait till my tenyear reunion.

I'm gonna bust down the (D7)double doors.

(Emaj9)And when I stand on these (D7)tables (Emaj9)before you,

you will know what all this (D7)time was for.
