Db
You've been told all your life
Bbm
You don't look like a hero
Db
You believed it and now
Bbm
You're at absolute zero
Db
You make music alone
Bbm
'cause you don't feel pretty
Db
And you're doing too little
Bbm
In too big a city
Gb Bbm
Oh, woah
Gb Bbm
Oh, woah
Db
You've been waiting for years
Bbm
For your world to start moving
Db
You've been waiting for years
Bbm
But your life's not improving
Db
And I'm not trying to deal you
Bbm
Empathy or pity
[SIREN, TREVOR]
Db
I'm just doing too little
Bbm
In too big a city
[CARY, SIREN, TREVOR]
Gb Bbm
Oh, oh
Gb Bbm
Oh, oh
[TREVOR]
Db
I've resigned to living a life
Bbm
Without glory
Db
I've resigned to living like
Bbm
That’s not my story
Db
I've been waiting for change
Bbm
To drop out of the sky
Db
I've been squeezing the meaning
Out of one simple word –
[CARY, SIREN, TREVOR]
Bbm
Try!
[SIREN, TREVOR]
Gb
And I'm making a list
Bbm Bbm7
Of the things that I'm proud of
Gb
And I'm making a list
Bbm Bbm7
Of the people that I love
Gb
And I'm setting my limits
Bbm Bbm7
Impossibly high
[TREVOR]
Gb
'Cause my life is gonna be
Bbm
A myth to live by
(pluck only the A string during this bit)
[SIREN]
Db
You think that I need you
Bbm
More than you need me
Db
Well there's no way that
Bbm
I'm gonna give up so easy
Db
'Cause I've waited too long
Bbm
For my future to slip by
Db
And my life is gonna be
A myth to live by
