Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
When you're younger,
people tell you that when you grow up you'll know more
but the older that I get the less
Dsus4 
I understand the world.
G 
And I can hardly recognize
people that I knew before.
D 
It only took me two decades
to find out who they really are
G 
D 
and who they've always been.
G 
D 
From the new angle where I stand,
G 
D 
I see those sides that make them human.

Verse 2
D 
The ones you thought immortal
now are greying, now are frail.
The ones you went to for your answers
are just as lost and as confused.
G 
A gale sweeps children
Gm 
off their feet and
G 
D 
tosses them into a sea of over
whelming reality- -
those things they didn't want to see.
A 
G 
D 
And here they call that 20.
G 
D 
Like crossroads in the country,
A 
G 
D 
the towering door in front of me.

Verse 3
D 
We're twenty. We're twenty.
G 
D 
C 
What do people our age do?
D 
Dsus4 
Are we all closet philosophers
D 
and record junkies too?
G 
We're twenty. We're twenty.
Reusing our old coffee grinds cause
we can't afford fresh brew.
A 
G 
Though we say we're
D 
grown men and  women,
A 
G 
D 
I think we all just want to fit in.

Verse 4
D 
You have friends that get stupid
and some friends who are firm.
You try to step lively on the balance beam
that grazes both their worlds.
G 
You're searching for your definition
while abhorring the heard
D 
and you're conscious of the fact that you
probably cost more than you're worth.
A 
G 
D 
Still, a Friday night is calling
A 
G 
D 
And God gave you a paycheck.

Verse 5
D 
Till one day it all hits you
the universe says, "Act your age"
And you're thrown into an
intersection that parts 50 ways.
G 
Feet mesmerized and terrified to
D 
G 
know your life will change
D 
Cause the second that you pick a route
is the second that you'll say,

Verse 6
A 
G 
D 
"Did I choose the right one?"
A 
G 
A 
D 
"In hindsight, will I be proud?"
A 
But the only way to know
G 
D 
is to travel it.
A 
We're twenty. We're twenty.

D 
A 
G 
Are we all closet philosophers
D 
and record junkies too?
G 
We're twenty. We're
twenty.
Reusing our old coffee grinds cause
we can't afford fresh brew.

Though we say we're grown
D 
men and women,
A 
D 
I think we all just want to fit in.

Verse 7
D 
Folks'll ask you 'bout your future,
G 
D 
the obstacle you've only feigned
G 
D 
and you're feelin' yourself lying to
'em just to keep 'em entertained
G 
With fingers crossed behind your back,
Gm 
G 
Gm 
it  don't feel good to talk like that
G 
D 
But who really expects a whippersnap' to
take advice from just any old hand?
A 
G 
D 
From just anyone who passes
A 
G 
We don't take words
D 
from the masses

Verse 8
D 
Cause who knows where you'll be for
the next twenty years or more
G 
D 
what tragedies or ruts will come
a- knocking at your door.
G 
For now your most important jobs
are trying to keep a level head
D 
trying to pick up your own shovel,
and shake a lot of hands
A 
G 
D 
Cause memories are milestones
A 
G 
D 
even all the bad ones
A 
G 
D 
And 20's when you make 'em.

Verse 9
D 
We're twenty. We're twenty.
G 
D 
What do people our age do?
G 
D 
Are we all closet philosophers
and record junkies too?
G 
We're twenty. We're twenty.
Reusing our old coffee grinds cause we
can't afford fresh brew.
A 
G 
Though we say we're grown
D 
men and women,
G 
D 
G 
I think we all just want to fit in.

Verse 10
D 
We're twenty. We're twenty.
What do people our age do?
Are we all closet philosophers
and record junkies too?
G 
Do we all re- use our coffee grinds cause
we can't afford fresh brew?
G 
D 
Can we all only stretch as far out
as our debts allow us to?
G 
D 
Though we insist that we've got it together,
D 
A 
G 
D 
call ourselves grown men and women,
D 
G 
D 
I think we all just want to fit in.
