Intro:
C B A G F E G
C B
If I could walk a straight mile
A G
I could write it down in shorthand
F E
I could show you
G
If you want me to
C B
And if I had an hourglass
A G
I'd save the grains of time I spent with you
F E
And that's what I'd do
G
But I remember
F E G
You always said it could be great
And I knew it could be
Well there's a way you look at things
That no one needs to know but you
And you shout em with me
Like every time the leaves would fall
You'd promise me that they'd be back again
And I believed in you
F E G
You always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
F E D
Now it seems that I've gone too far
C G
As bright as you are
A# F
Don't get burned by your lucky star
C G
Bright as you are
A# F
Don't get burned by your lucky star
Written down in hard-bound books
The way things used to be (?)
I'd swear they're all for you
(?)
Mama said shit I don't know what you'll do
As if it's up to you
You always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that I've gone too far
(The rest till the end is C-G-A#-F)
As bright as you are
Don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are
Don't get burned by your lucky star
Your lucky star will burn out
Your lucky star can turn you around
Your lucky star will burn out
Your lucky star can turn you around
Turn you around
Turn you around
Turn you around
Turn you around
F G C
They're gonna turn you around

But my nights seem longer still, and my TV's off the air
Watching repeats on my ceiling
Another hour left to kill

Don't worry 'bout today, shake the world from your head
Least for a while

(verse)
You changed my face,
I think I like it better now.
It doesn't matter anyhow, cuz that's the way it is.
You said hello,
Well where the hell you been?
I said I feel like I've been off to war, and I may never be the same
again.
(verse)
I made my bed,
But now I can't sleep at night.
I'm tossin and turnin you know, you know it ain't right.
I'd love to beg,
See, but I'm just too proud.
And I don't even know what to say, so I'm thinking out loud.
(chorus)
And when you dream 17,
I ain't there, so I don't care.
Cuz in all my dreams, I'm 23,
And she's the girl right next to me.
See that girl right next to me.
(verse)
I lie in my bed,
You're running through my head.
Going over and over and over, the things that you said.
I'm caught in the trap,
I'll run like hell right back to you.
Cuz it's over with you and you know it means drinking alone.
(chorus)
And when you dream 17,
I ain't there, so I don't care.
Cuz in all my dreams, I'm 23,
And she's the girl right next to me.
See that girl right next to me.

I've got no politics, no influential friend or two

I've got ideas, but it's nothing I picked up at school
E5 G5 D5 E5(VII) C5
I might be running, but I'm never running back to you

And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply
And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie
(verse)
I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by
You've got no power and my situation don't apply
You ask me how I am, I lie and say I'm doing fine

And with your sugar-sweetened alibi, there was a truth I never knew
And all the attitude you gave me, it's coming back to you
(chorus)
G D5 E5(VII) C5
String of lies, it's always compromise with you

String of lies, you know there's nothing better to do

G D E7 C(add9)
Happy, smilin', cryin' upwards to my past,
G D E7 C(add9)
I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last.
G D E7 C(add9)
And now I find myself a-tugging at your dress.
G D E7 C(add9)
The funnel holding me down, oh see the cloud, it's never gonna pass.
Break: G-D-E7-C(add9) (2x)
(bass in here, see my bass tab for the cool riff)
G5 D5 E5 C5
Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go,
G5 D5 E5 C5
Gray-like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know.
G5 D5 E5 C5
All our postcards full of things I won't forget.
G D E7 C(add9)
And now it's coming down, that laughing clown is all I ever get.
G D E7 C(add9)
Another second time around, I've been runnin' from ya
G D E7 C(add9)
Another second time around.
G D E7 C(add9)
Another second, one more second time, I waited for ya,
G D E7 C(add9)
Another second time around.
D5 C5
Couldn't help myself,
D5 C5 D5
I felt like everything was gonna pass.
C5
It was an awkward time,
D5 C5
I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last.
(Solo like only Johnny Rzeznik does...)
G5 D5 E5 C5
And I didn't know exactly what to say,
G5 D5 E5 D5
About the things you saw me do my evil way.
(*** add riff at bottom **)
G5 D5 E5 C5
And I know you're lyin', cryin' in your bed.
G D E7 C(add9)
Well I'm all tired out, so wired out, it's ringing in my head.
G D E7 C(add9)
Another second time around, I've been runnin' from ya
G D E7 C(add9)

I look outside my window
B5 A5 D5
Everything was blanketed in white
G5
The neighbors pushing cars out
B5 A5 D5
From snow that fell on us last night
G5
Started thinking 'bout
B5 A5 D5
The things we used to do when we were young
G5
Back when things were simple
B5 A5
And getting up was fun
(chorus)
G5 A5 G5
I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there
A5 G5 A5 G5 A5
I'm already there, and I'm ready there
(verse)
Turn around and face the clock
I'd sit and watch, as time went hoppin' by
I'm still growing up
My friends are growing old before my eyes
Count the stars above
Wonder when the heavens will subside
Knowing our two worlds
Will someday just collide
(chorus)
I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there.
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

Just a boy who's young at heart
His smile was a bit like yours today
Had a wife, a kid, some strife
Never had to go astray
Happiness evolved
Life was in full swing
At 17, all the things he wanted
Were things he'd never seen
(chorus)
It don't seem fair, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

(verse)
He said, man, you want to be Elvis
I said I ain't dying face down
He said you've got to die facing up in the world
'Cause there's too many holes around
(verse)
He asked what was wrong with me
He said I looked like a Hollywood girl
I said that Hollywood can fall into the ocean, man
'Cause it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world

And I never got serious
'Til everything went black
And I ain't so curious
That I'm ever going back
