Tom: Ebm
F#
I don't know what I was thinking
Guess I never let it sink in
                               N.C.  F#
Always trying to be different
F#
Couple times I thought I'd drop out
                          B
Broke my heart with 808s, ow
B
Kiss the coast, I'm coming back now
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C#           D#m            B                     F#
Maybe I'd be living nice if I'd have thought twice
    C#        D#m              B
But how was I supposed to know until I rolled the dice?
[Chorus]
F#
Never knew it would be this hard
                            B
Getting by on my credit card
B
Burning out just to be a star
I know that I'll be alright
F#
Blowing up but I'm breaking down
Getting tired of the runaround
        B
And I'm making noise 'til I hear the sound
I know that I'll be alright
N.C.
[Verse 2]
F#
  Don't know what to do about it
                           B
Every single day I doubt it
B
I should've been an accountant, yeah
F#
  But I don't wanna be forever bored
                             A#     B
No, I don't need the things I can't afford
I'd rather die doing my thing, not yours
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C#           D#m    B
Maybe I'd be living nice
    F#
But I'd hate myself for the rest of my life
[Chorus]
F#
Never knew it would be this hard
                            B
Getting by on my credit card
B
Burning out just to be a star
I know that I'll be alright
F#
Blowing up but I'm breaking down
Getting tired of the runaround
    Bmaj7
And I'm making noise 'til I hear the sound
B
I know that I'll be alright
F#   B
[Interlude]
B
I know that I'll be alright
[Bridge]
C#
I'll tell you the truth
If I play the Garden
D#m
My heart still won't bloom
From a galaxy of stardom
    B
Somehow I assume
                       C#7
That maybe it's enough
C#           F#
For me to be happy
Though I know it's not
    B
But I never planned a Plan B
                  C#
So, I'm selling my thoughts
D#m7
'Til the last time I sleep
                             D#
And wake up in the real dream
[Down Chorus]
D#         D#m          D#        N.C.
But I know that I'll be alright
F#
Yeah, I know
F#
Yeah, I know
F#
Yeah, I know
Yeah
[Chorus]
F#
Never knew it would be this hard
                            B
Getting by on my credit card
B
Burning out just to be a star
I know that I'll be alright
F#
Blowing up but I'm breaking down
Getting tired of the runaround
    B
And I'm making noise 'til I hear the sound
I know that I'll be alright
F#  B
[Outro]
B
I know that I'll be alright
