[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse]
Asus4 A Am
Well My curiosity has earned me a chance to learn the hard way
E
Life can be so giving in that way
Asus4 A Am
You there standing with your eyes closed expecting all you wanted
E
You never thought about it
[Pre-Chorus]
Asus4 A Am
You there standing with your arms out expecting all you wanted
E
You never thought about it
Am E
You never got it, but now you're getting older
F C
Now you fear your window is closing on your fingers
G
And the lock is clicking
F C
And the shades are drawn before your eyes
[Chorus]
Am - G F C E
I should have had you walk out there on your own
Am - G F C E
I should have had you go out there away all alone
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Asus4 A Am
Well damn my mind for feeling empty, Why couldn't I be happy
E
working with my hands or selling something
Asus4 A Am
Keep me entertained with small talk and doing nothin' fancy
E
A common occupation, and I'm satisfied
Am E
But not me. That's never gonna stop me
F C
Push me to my limits, expand like I'm elastic
G F C
But I've got no examples, so open up your eyes, open up your eyes
[Chorus]
Am G F C E
So now I gotta take some steps out there on my own
Am G F C E
Now I'm gonna follow some plan that I designed at home
