---Intro---
C Am G F
---Verse---
C
I'm tired
Am
cynical and broken, but wiser
G
heavy with a sense of resentment
F
but i used to be so much different
i used to have so much faith
C
when i started
Am
you knew that i always meant it
G
i knew i could make a difference
i struggled to be heard
F
and then finally, one day people started listening
C Am G F
---Verse 2---
C
and i knew it
Am
but as soon as it began it was ruined
G
a slow descent from unique to routine
over and over
F
just do it again and this time with feeling
C
the spotlight
Am
the focus on the friends and the feelings
G
that made those stupid songs all worth singing
and don't you say a word
F C Am G F
unless you're pretty sure that you want it analyzed
----Chorus----
C
so we drove
for what seemed like days
Am
over roads
and four lane highways
G
we said all we had to say
F C
and I realized in time that it didn't mean anything
Reapeat Chorus
