[Verse 1]
D As I finally meet my end F# I won't be scared, I won't defend Bm The things I've done CG I don't need him like you do CG I don't fear him like you do
[Verse 2]
D As my world revolves the sun F# I hope the light that I become Bm Can sleep for once CG I won't leave it like you do CG I won't lead it like you do CG I won't leave it like they do CE I don't need him like they do
[Pre-Chorus]
DF# I just want to sleep forever Bm Never see tomorrow CG Or lead or follow DF# I don't want to work forever Bm Know what I know CG Or beg or borrow
[Chorus 1]
D Just like our mothers F# Who gave us our homes Bm We'll be just like our fathers CG And go out on our own
D 'Cause we are the colors F# Of all that you see Bm We'll be just like our brothers CG And take to the streets G7 And take to the streets
[Post-Chorus]
DF# I just want to sleep forever Bm Never see tomorrow CG Or lead or follow
[Verse 3]
D As my world it hides behind F# The words only your wars define Bm They read a lot like news CG But I fear it more than you CE I fear it more than you
[Pre-Chorus]
DF# I just want to sleep forever Bm Never see tomorrow CG Or lead or follow DF# I don't want to work forever Bm Know what I know CG Or beg or borrow
[Chorus 2]
D Just like old lovers F# Who never leave home Bm We'll forget the city CG We'll forgot the roads
D 'Cause we are all rebels F# Never do what we're told Bm We may not grow money CG But man we grow old G7 Man we grow old
[Pre-Chorus]
DF# I just want to sleep forever Bm Never see tomorrow CG Or lead or follow DF# I don't want to work forever Bm Know what I know CG Or beg or borrow
[Chorus 3]
D Just like our mothers F# Who gave us homes Bm We'll be just like our fathers CG And go out on our own
D 'Cause we are the colors F# Of all that you see Bm We'll be just like our brothers CG And take to the streets
[Chorus 4]
D 'Cause we are all children F# Yeah we are all man Bm It may not be much CG But we do what we can
D Don't need no preacher F# To make us believe Bm That everything's perfectly CGD Fucked up like me
