C G D/F#

Em Am

C D C/B
if i was scared , i would
C D G D/F#
and if i was bored , you know i would
C D Em D
and if i was yours , but i’m not

C G D/F#
all the kids have always known
Em Am
that the emperor wears new clothes
C G D/F#
but to bow to down to them anyway
Em Am
is better than to be alone

Em Am
saying please come out against the night
C G D/F#
but i would rather be alone
Em Am
than pretend i feel alright

C G D/F#
if the businessmen drink my blood
Em Am
like the kids in art school said they would
C G D/F#
then i guess i’ll just begin again
Em Am
you say can we still be friends

D/F# C Em
now i’m ready to start
D/F# C Em

Em
my mind is open wide
D/F# C Em
and now i’m ready to start
D/F# C
and now i’m ready to start

D/F# C

D/F# C Em
to step out into the dark
D/F#
now i’m ready
