Chords

[Verse 1]
             D
Do you wanna be

          G
Like your father?

              D
The older you get

                    G
Your head's gettin' hotter

            D
Pick up the phone

         G
When he calls you

              D
You know he's alone

                          G
He's preaching 'cause he loves you

                D
Where have you been?

            G
Jack's been waiting

                    D
In your room every night

                   G
Why don't you stay home tonight?
[Chorus]
D                    G
Could you waste your life

Em             G
If you painted mine?

D               G
Now the day has died

             F#m             Em
But it's too late to close your eyes
D D [Verse 2]
G       G
Ahhh... ahhh...

D
Time keeps telling me to change

                    G
But I'm fragile and afraid

G        G
Ahhh... ahhh...
Bm D Bm D G [Chorus]
D                   G
Could you waste your life

Em           G
If you painted mine?

D                G
Now the day has died

              F#m         Em
But it's too late to close your eyes

F#m           Em
To close your eyes

F#m        Em
Close your eyes
[Bridge]
D
The clock it ticks

             G
I have to get older

D
When I wake up

                A
And the dream is over

D
Packed away

          G
My life moving slower

D          A           G
Oh I'd hate to get any older

D           A         G
Oh I'd hate to get any older

           D
Do you wanna be
(The clock it ticks, I have to get older)
          G
Like your father?

              D
The older you get
(When I wake up and the dream is over)
                     G
Your head's gettin' hotter

           D
Pick up the phone
(Packed away, my life moving slower)
            G
When he calls you

        D       A          G
Oh I'd hate to get any older

        D       A         G
Oh I'd hate to get any older
D G Em G D G Em G [Outro]
D                 G
I always knew I'd let you go

Em             G
Have to see you die to grow

D                           G
Don't you let them tell you who you are

Em                     G
Hope that as you keep collecting scars

         D    A      Em     G
You never know my pain
D G Em G
