Intro: G, D, G C 

           G                 D 
I'm making plans to pass the time 
              G                  C 
I write these songs, they seldom rhyme  
          Em             D 
I used to quit, but now I smoke 
                C 
This life's the only one I know  

              G               D 
I've got some friends I never see 
           G              C 
I wait but nothing's happening 
            Em              D  
I asked you if you felt the same  
             C                     D 
You know the rules; won't play the game  



[Refrão]
     G 
If I woke up now  
       Em 
from a life-long dream  
         C                G 
I'd make sure to write it down  
Em 
Cause I'd like to think  
          C 
that I've learned some things  
            D               
Though it's too late now  

G, D, G, C 

                G              D 
I've watched my days turn into nights 
              G                 C  
I've seen the city, but not the sights 
            Em                    D  
I've broken hearts, so mine won't break 
         C  
I try to learn from my mistakes  

             G                   D 
I learned my lines, I'll play my part 
           G                                 C  
I love the ending, but I don't know where to start 
             Em                      D  
So if you're looking for someone to lead  
             C             
Don't follow me  

D 
                
--Chorus-- 


Solo: G, D, G, C, Em, D, C 

           G                 D 
So I won't sleep; I will not hide 
             G            C  
It's time to follow my advice 
              Em          D  
And when it's time to pay dues 
            C             D  
I'll let my life be my excuse  


--Chorus-- 


SOLO 2: G, D, G, C, Em, D, G, C, G
