Verse 1
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
I have grown up, I am a father now
Badd4 Badd4 
 
Everything has changed,
F#add4 F#add4 
 
but I         am still the same somehow
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
You know I've never been afraid of death
Badd4 Badd4 
 
F#add4 F#add4 
 
But now I wanna see the things
that haven't happened yet
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
I still love getting out of my mind,
I should cut it down
Badd4 Badd4 
 
F#add4 F#add4 
 
I still know people I don't like      and
I should cut them out
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
I feel embarrassed 'bout the things
that I did in my youth
Badd4 Badd4 
 
'Cause now I have a child,
F#add4 F#add4 
 
I know      one day that she'll go through it

Pre-chorus 1
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
Freight  cargo,
DOT stops, and aeroplanes
Badd4 Badd4 
 
F#add4 F#add4 
 
Late     night calls, signal       is in and out again
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
Feeling  low, on serotonin and better days
G#m7 G#m7 
 
Go,    go, go, but
F#add4 F#add4 
 
every        moment you're here with me

Verse 2
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
I lost the confidence in who I was
Badd4 Badd4 
 
F#add4 F#add4 
 
Too busy trying to chase the high
and get the numbers up
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
I have the same dream every night
Badd4 Badd4 
 
A bullet through my brain
F#add4 F#add4 
 
the moment    that I close my eyes
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
I still have to lean on a shoulder
when I've broken down
Badd4 Badd4 
 
F#add4 F#add4 
 
And I have people that depend
on me to sort them out
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
I sometimes fantasize I
disappear without a trace
Badd4 Badd4 
 
Have no regrets, but wish I
F#add4 F#add4 
 
did       things in a different way

Pre-chorus 2
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
Low      fly zone, lawsuits, and film stars
Badd4 Badd4 
 
F#add4 F#add4 
 
Headline wrote, princess  and the face scar
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
Broken   bones, break-ins, and Babylon
G#m7 G#m7 
 
Go,    go, go, but
F#add4 F#add4 
 
every        moment you're here with me
