No Such Thing

"Welcome to the real world," she (Bbmaj9)said to me condescendingly.

"Take (Dm7)a seat, take your life.

(Fm9)Plot it out in black and white."

(Fmaj9)Well, I never lived the dreams of the prom kings and the drama queens.

I'd like to think the (Dm7)best of me is still hiding (G7)up my sleeve.

They (Bbmaj9)love to tell you, "Stay inside the lines."

(Fmaj9)But (G7)something's better (Bbmaj9)on the other side.

(Fmaj9)I wanna run through the halls of my high school.

I wanna scream at the top (Eb7)of my lungs.

I just found out there's no such thing as the real world.

Just a lie (Bbm)you've got to (Eb7)rise (Fmaj9)above.

So the good boys and girls take the (Bbmaj9)socalled right track,

faded white hats, grabbing (Dm7)credits and maybe transfers.

They (Fm9)read all the books but they can't find the answers.

(Fmaj9)And all of our parents,

they're getting older.

I wonder if they've wished for anything (Dm7)better while in their mem'ries,

tiny (G7)tragedies.

They

(Gbmaj7)I am (Bb)invincible.

(Gbmaj7)I am (Bb)invincible.

(Gbmaj7)I am (Bb)invincible as (Ab)long as I'm alive.

(G7)I wanna run through the halls of my high school.

I wanna scream at the top (Eb7)of my lungs.

I just found out there's no such thing as the real world.

Just a lie (Bbm)you've got to (Eb7)rise (Fmaj9)above.

I just can't wait till my ten year reunion.

I'm gonna bust down the (Eb7)double doors.

And when I stand on these tables (Fmaj9)before you,

you will know what all this (Eb7)time was for.
