Em
  Well I've tried to live like

                 G         C
The way that you wanted me to

      Em         D
Never needed the proof

     Bm           A
Just followed the rules

Em
  I pick up all the pieces

              G        C
And I move my feet as fast as I can

           Em        D
I'm always falling behind

     Bm           A
Just float in the lines

Em                                       G        C 
  You want more and ambition's taken its toll on you

              Em   D        Bm
Well hey your confidence is fading

A
With your youth

Pre-chorus:

C
 And you say

       G                      D       C
That dreamers always get what they desire

     G                         D   
The more I want, the less I've got

Chorus:

   C
Is this the life you've been waiting for?

G           D                   C
 Or are you hoping that you'll be

Where you want with a little more? Verse 2:

Em                G       C
  You're coughing blood again

                Em           D
I know 'cause I clean up the mess

      Bm      A
Every now and then

Em 
  Fold the line along the seam

                  G     C                 
Force a smile and never say what you mean

              Em       D
You're in the promised land

           Bm     A
In someone else's dream

Em
  If you want more and you'll get there

                G       C
Throw a quarter in the well

      Em          D
It's okay, you're fine

  Bm       A
Ambition's not a crime

Pre-chorus:

C
 And you say

       G                      D       C
That dreamers always get what they desire

     G                         D   
The more I want, the less I've got

Chorus:

   C
Is this the life you've been waiting for?

G           D                   C
 Or are you hoping that you'll be

Where you want with a little more?

 Well, ask yourself
