F#m11
 Well I've tried to live like
                           Dadd4
the way that you wanted me to.
       F#m7        E
Never needed the proof,
     C#m           B
just followed the rules.
F#m11
I pick up all the pieces
                       Dadd4
and I move my feet as fast as I can.
            F#m7     E
I'm always falling behind,
      C#m          B
just float in the lines.
F#m11
You want more and ambition's
                   Dadd4
taken its toll on you.
              F#m7    E     C#m              Dadd4
Well hey your confidence is fading with your youth.
 
 
 
Dadd4
 And you say
      F#m7           E             Dadd4
That dreamers always get what they desire
 
Well I've found
    F#m7             E
The more I want, the less I've got
 
   Dadd4                             F#m7
Is this the life you've been waiting for?
        E                  Dadd4
Are you hoping that you'll be
                                  N.C.
Where you want with a little more?

F#m11                        Dadd4
       You're coughing blood again
                F#m7         E
I know 'cause I clean up the mess
      C#m     B
Every now and then
F#m11
Fold the line along the seam
                        Dadd4
Force a smile and never say what you mean
              F#m7      E
You're in the promised land
           C#m     B
In someone else's dream
F#m11
If you want more and you'll get there
                         Dadd4
Throw a quarter in the well
      F#m7         E
It's okay, you're fine
  C#m            Dadd4
Ambition's not a crime
 
 
 
Dadd4
 And you say
      F#m7           E             Dadd4
That dreamers always get what they desire
 
Well I've found
    F#m7             E
The more I want, the less I've got
 
   Dadd4                             F#m7
Is this the life you've been waiting for?
        E                  Dadd4
Are you hoping that you'll be
                                  F#m7
Where you want with a little more?
