2ND VERSE:
Am Em
After school is over, you're playing in the park
G Dm
Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark
Am Em
They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about
G Dm
And grow up just like them, won't let you work it out
C E
And you're full of doubt

Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight

It's always up to you if you want to be that
F
Want to see that
C E
Want to see it that way
You're coming along
Am
