G F Em C
[Verse 1]
C
Long in tooth
G
Olives and vermouth
Em Am
I dine like an aging pilot
C
Where are they now
G
The money and the crowd
Am G F
Must I really come back down
[Pre-Chorus]
C F
It's like I never was a kid
G F C
The big math just wasted youth on me
C F
Making impressions like I did
F C
Your friends never thought that much of me
[Chorus]
C G
And now I want to fold
C
Into something else
G
An origami plane
C
To a distant island
F C
And I don't want to show you my feelings
F G
I don't want to force you to deal
F C
I just want to crash through the ceiling
G F G F C
Before it gets too real
[Verse 2]
C
All my life
G Em Am
Compromise on wings of resignation
C G
Big grey eyes staring from the sky
Am G F
Am I humble enough now?
[Pre-Chorus]
C F
I've always had something to hide
G F C
My skinny arms, my evil intentions
C F G
And back at school hitting the fire alarms
F C
Desperately wanting attention
[Chorus]
C G
Well I was just a boy
C
Out there on my own
G
Wishing I could fly
C
Fantasy island
F C
And I don't want to show you my feelings
F G
I don't want to bore you to death
F C
I just want to crash through the ceiling
G F G F C
Get it off my chest
[Break]
C G Em Am
C G Am F
[Pre-Chorus]
C F
It's like I never was a kid
G F C
The big math just wasted youth on me
C F
Making impressions like I did
F C
Your friends never thought that much of me
[Chorus]
C G
Well I was just a boy
C
Out there on my own
G
Wishing I could fly
C
Fantasy island
F C
And I don't want to show you my feelings
F G
I don't want to force you to deal
F C
I just want to crash through the ceiling
G F
Before it gets too real
G F
Before it gets too real
G F
Before it gets too real
G F
Real
