[Intro]
A C#m D6 F#m E C#m B
[Verse]
A
Well I've tried to live like
C#m D6
the way that you wanted me to.
F#m E
Never needed the proof,
C#m B
just followed the rules.
A
I pick up all the pieces
C#m D6
and I move my feet as fast as I can.
F#m E
I'm always falling behind,
C#m B
just float in the lines.
A
You want more and ambition's
C#m D6
taken its toll on you.
F#m E C#m B
Well hey your confidence is fading with your youth.
[Chorus]
D6
And you say
A
That dreamers always get what they desire
D6
Well I've found
A
The more I want, the less I've got
D6
Is this the life you've been waiting for?
A D6
Or are you hoping that you'll be
A(to verse)
Where you want with a little more?
[Verse]
A C#m D6
You're coughing blood again
F#m E
I know 'cause I clean up the mess
C#m B
Every now and then
A A
Fold the line along the seam
C#m D6
Force a smile and never say what you mean
F#m E
You're in the promised land
C#m B
In someone else's dream
A
If you want more and you'll get there
C#m D6
Throw a quarter in the well
F#m E
It's okay, you're fine
C#m B
Ambition's not a crime
[Chorus]
D6
And you say
A
That dreamers always get what they desire
D6
Well I've found
A
The more I want, the less I've got
D6
Is this the life you've been waiting for?
A D6
Or are you hoping that you'll be
A
Where you want with a little more?
D6
Well, Ask yourself
[Outro]
(C# hammered on and off for this part)
A
Is this the life you've been waiting for?
D6
Well, ask yourself
A
Is this the life you've been waiting for
D6
Well ask yourself
D6
Is this the life you've been waiting for?
A D6
Or are you hoping that you'll be
A
Where you want with a little more?
D6
Well, Ask yourself
