verse 1 :

( you can use the progression above or play the natural chords as on the chart )

C
somethin’ filled up
Am
my heart with nothin’ ,
F C
someone told me not to cry .

C
but now that i’m older ,
Am
my heart’s colder ,
F C
and i can see that it’s a lie .

C Am F C
oh oh oh

C
children wake up ,
Am
hold your mistake up ,
F C
before they turn the summer into dust .

C
if the children don’t grow up ,
Am
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up .
F
we’re just a million little gods causin’ rain storms turnin’ every good thing to
C
rust .

C Am F C
i guess we’ll just have to adjust .

( i still need to tab the next section but here are the lyrics )

with my lightnin’ bolts a glowin’
i can see where i Am goin’ to be
when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand .

with my lightnin’ bolts a glowin’
i can see where i Am goin
with my lightnin’ bolts a glowin’
i can see where i Am , go – go , where i Am
