           Dm              A#
With your head up in the clouds
      C             Dm
You try to win the race
                          A#
You're the leader of the pack
C  Dm
Always
     C                                  Dm
The candle keeps burning from both ends
             C                 Dm
Until it's blowing out with a bang

When you think you know the game
You don't know anything at all
You cross the red line once again
Free fall
Hope you've learned your lesson well my friend
'Cause there will always be a second chance

Chorus:
           A#            Am
When you know where you come from
      Dm
You know where you're going
        A#              C            Dm
Just because you're a child of your time
           A#            Am
When you know where you come from
     Dm
You back down for no one
          A#         C               Dm
Just be true to yourself, it's your life

With your head up in the clouds
Your angels by your side
Someone up there keeps your dreams
Alive
The candle keeps burning from both ends
And the road calls your name once again

Chorus:
When you know where you come from
You know where you're going
Just because you're a child of your time
When you know where you come from
You back down for no one
Just be true to yourself, it's your life
Just be true to yourself, it's your life

A#             C               Am              Dm
And you keep driving down the highway of your life
A#          C            Am
There is no exit sign at all
A#          C                     Am              Dm
There is a warning light that's flashing all the time
          A#       C            Dm
And only you can stop your downfall

Chorus:
When you know where you come from
You know where you're going
Just because you're a child of your time
When you know where you come from
You back down for no one
Just be true to yourself, it's your life
Just be true to yourself, it's your life
Just be true to yourself, it's your life
