       D#
When I tell the story of this decade
    Cm                        A#
The memories and melodies are never the same
D#
I knew that we prevailed
        Cm                  A#
Knew it all too well, never end up stale
D#
Another thing that I wish I knew
   Cm                               A#
Is how you're gonna sit me down and make me choose
D#
There's no doubt it will turn around

Chorus:
         Cm  D# A#
So I'll tell myself
         G#    Fm
That I'm not a victim
D#
But I'll own up to the mistakes that I made
G#     Fm           D#
I can see through it all
The world's never gonna
 G#       Fm
Fall back ask where you're at
Cm                A#
Out with the old, let the truth be told
G#      Fm          D#
Shape up, and stand tall

When I tell you why I don't act my age
It compliments the fact that you've
got nothing to say
I knew that it took time and a fucked up mind
Just to stay in line
But all the value I could demonstrate
And all the places that I've grown to hate
Well, they bring life, so I'll say it twice
I just wanna know what it's like to rebel

Chorus

G#
I could lie if you wanted
But in the night I think of all this time
D#
And all this space
              G#
And all the tracks in the dirt that we
                    D#
could retrace back home
I'm not alone
               G#
Don't put my story back on it's shelf
        A#                           Cm D# A#
I was choked up but my tongue untied itself
