Verse
[Emaj9]"welcome to the real world"
[Amaj9]she said to me condescendingly
[C#m7]"take a seat, take your life
[Em7]plot it out in black and white"
[Emaj9]well I never lived the dreams of the [Amaj9]prom kings
and the drama queens
I'd like to think the be[C#m7]best of me
is still hiding [F#11]up my sleeve
Pre-Chorus
they [Asus2]love [F#m11/A]to tell[Asus2]tell [Amaj9] you [Asus2] "stay[F#m/A] in-si[Asus2]de [Amaj9] the [Emaj9]lines"
[F#]but something's better[Asus2] on the[Asus2/G#] other si[Emaj9]de
Chorus
I want to [Am9]run through the halls of my [Emaj9]high school
I want to scream [Am9]at the top of my [Emaj9]lungs
I just found out [Am9]there's no such thing as the [Emaj9]real world
just a [Am9]lie you've got to rise [Emaj9]above
Verse
[Emaj9]so the good boys and girls
[Amaj9]take the so-called right track
faded white hats grabbing cre[C#m7]credits,
maybe transfers
they [Em7]read all the books but they can't find the answers
[Emaj9]all of our parents, they're getting [Amaj9]older
I wonder if they've wished for anything b[C#m7]better
while in their memories, tiny t[F#11]tragedies
Pre-Chorus
they [Asus2]love [F#m/A]to te[Asus2]tell [Amaj9] yo[Asus2]u "s[F#m/A]tay in[Asus]-side [Amaj9] the li[Emaj9]nes"
but [F#11]something's better o[Asus2]n the o[Asus2/G#]ther side[Emaj9]
Chorus
I want to [Am9]run through the halls of my [Emaj9]high school
I want to scream [Am9]at the top of my [Emaj9]lungs
I just found out [Am9]there's no such thing as the [Emaj9]real world
just a [Am9]lie you've got to rise [Emaj9]above
