A D7 A
I should have turned right, but I turned out wrong
A D7 A
I tried to find a meaning in this song
D7 E
but maybe that's what i have been doing all along
A D7 A
I think I'm in charge, but I'm losing touch
A D7 A
I think my own leg looks like a crutch
D7 E
Now all I can think about is, that I'm thinking way too much
D A
But then I just go to sleep
F#m E
Where all i can hear is laughter
D A E
And even the shit that i am standing in will turn to gold
D A
Cause when I just go to sleep
F#m E
happily ever after
D A E
I can forget that I'm so goddamn busy getting old, yeah
A D7 A D7
A D7 A
There's people you love and there's people you hate
D7 A
I belong to the latter but it's never too late
D7 E
for an idiot like me, who is trying to hide,
but the high-rise lights shine bright tonight
A D7 A
And what's the purpose of getting a tattoo for free
D7 A
when that tattoo looks like skin cancer to me
D7 E
some see a piece of silver as the way of life
but all i see is a knife
D A
That's why I just go to sleep
F#m E
Where all i can hear is laughter
D A E
And even the shit that i am standing in will turn to gold
D A
Cause when I just go to sleep
F#m E
happily ever after
D A E
I can forget that I'm so goddamn busy getting old
A D
Am I a pro in mediocrity - whatever
A D
Cause imperfection is my specialty - whatever
A D
these stupid lyrics, they mean nothing to me,
E
but now I found a rhyme that fits in beautifully - whatever
A D
How is it going? Good? Well, i don't care - whatever
A D
A blank face is the only thing i wear - whatever
A D
I'm taking polaroids of me and you,
E
then I shake them till they break in two
D A
That's why I just go to sleep
F#m E
Where all i can hear is laughter
D A E
And even the shit that i am standing in will turn to gold
D A
Cause when I just go to sleep
F#m E
happily ever after
D A E
I can forget that I'm so goddamn busy getting old, yeah
