Am C D Am C D My eyes can't believe what they have seen. Am C D Am C D In the corner of your room you've stockpiled millions of my memories. Am C D Am C D Oh Doctor, Doctor, I must have gotten this sick somehow. Am I'm going to ask you a series of questions, C D Am C D And I want them answered on the spot, right now. Am F Is it serious? C D I'm afraid it is. Am F Am I gonna die? C D Am F C D Well son, death is gonna catch up to all one day, Am F C D But yours is coming quicker than ours, than ours. G Some things I may have taken for granted again and again,
well here's what was said then
Am C F Hold your head high heavy heart. G So take a chance and make it big, Am Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get. C If we don’t take it, when will we make it? G G I make plans to break plans, C And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big, planning.
[same as intro rhythm]
Am C D Am I’ve never tried to make the best of my time, C D When I thought that I had plenty of it. Am F Is this serious? C D I don’t know what to think. Am F Is it all a lie? C D Well one thing is for sure Am F C D I'm taken back to the glory days when Am F C D When we were kids without a brash or bitter thing to say. G Now my life is one big make it, or break it. Am C Hold your head high heavy heart F Save your strength for the morning after. G So take a chance and make it big, Am Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get. C If we don’t take it, when will we make it? G Am I make plans to break plans, C And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big, planning.
[repeat as many times (from 'so take a chance') as you feel like it. I think it's 4 times]
end on Am
