C G F C

VERSE 2: same chords and same style
roaming these hallways with dreams unfullfilled
why do they always seem so uphill
a happy existence of peace and goodwill
with me on assistance and you on the pill
PRECHORUS 2:
is that so wrong but no one sees it my way
get a life is what they say

I don't want a life I just want you
