when you were born you were not alone
F
nothing was carved into the stone
quiet [ ? ] but don’t forget
C G C
you heard someone say it won’t get better than this
that was the sound of your father
G
as he held you up to your mother
F
no one will ever know
C G C
the love as pure as the one that you felt right then
C G Dm
they held you up , they held you up
C G
and everybody else they fell to the wayside
C
this is the stuff of beginning
G
the prologue to the yarn that you’re spinning
F C G
a million synonyms will never come close to describe the feeling
fff ccc G
dont ever leave cause if you do dear
C F
i guarantee that youll regret
the day you did
C
and youll miss all the simple things
F
and youll see everything you ever loved
G F
start fading till there’s nothing left but dust

so now youre young and you feel alone
F
despite friends , family , and all the good things now surrounding you
you cant help thinking
oh there’s gotta be some more to do
when all the things that you cherish
turn into burdens and there is
no other fantasy
you know what you gotta do but you dont know how
they hold you back
they hold you down
and youre gonna feel bad but you know that you gotta get out
this is your pain your dilemma
will you stay in the town that they raised you
or will you sail away
pull the anchor and go in for the [ ? ] one day
you have to leave
cause if you dont dear
youll never see the things you read about in books
you saw the films and you were hooked
but everything you want wont come to you
and you realize now that you gotta go see this through

these repeated chords indicate a triple downward strum :
“fff”
