C                    G 
Something filled up
Am
My heart with nothin'
F                        C
Someone told me not to cry

C                       G 
But now that I'm older
Am
My heart's colder
F                          C
And I can see that it's a lie

Children, wake up
Hold your mistake up
Before they turn the summer into dust

If the children don't grow up
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
We're just a million little gods
causing rain storms
Turning every good thing to rust
I guess we'll just have to adjust

Chorus:
D#                          C
With my lightning bolts a glowin'
D#                    F
I can see where I am going to be when
                                      C
the reaper he reaches and touches my hand

With my lightning bolts a-glowing
I can see where I am going
With my lightning bolts a-glowing
I can see where I am go-going
You better look out below!
