Am                    C           F
Young and bright, but now just a dim light
C           G
Off in the distance
Am              C               F
A falling stone, following the path
C           G
Of least resistance

F            C
If I still fight
F               C
It's just that I'm
F             C                G
Afraid I'll slide under that spell again

I lost my way and she took me to school
G       F    G

Am              C              F
So many times caught up in my head at night
         C           G
With a leash and a label
Am            C                        F
If I can learn anything from this then I'd be like
      C          G
The fox in the fable oh I

F            C
If I still fight
F               C
It's just that I'm
F             C                G
Afraid I'll slide under that spell again

Dm                       G
The way we used to carry on
Dm                                   G
is stuck in my head like a terrible song

Following their rules

Guess I was a very honest tool
G       F    G
