Telling her what you'll be when you grow up

It's gonna be tough

All these prayers

Does anybody know if there's a heaven up there?

I'm hoping if there is, then it may be

Cadd9           B7
Somewhere I can see

        Em              A7         D
Your eyes, still gently smiling at me

          G     Bm7             Cadd9            Cm   Bm7
Open up a beer, feeling kind of angry you're not here

            Cadd9       Am         D
Don't wanna be alone, I pick up my iPhone

      G      Bm7              C            Cm
And I choose which part of my mind I will abuse

  G          Cadd9         Em            D         Bm
I promised I wouldn't, but it's just too good to refuse

[Verse 3]
Em        Cadd9
All these dreams

They never turn out quite as big as they seem

      D              Cadd9       Gadd9
Still waiting for my mother to arrive

    Cadd9           B7
And sit down by my side

            Em              A7         D
And tell me I don't need to worry anymore

D7           G
Sitting on a plane

Bm7          Cadd9           Cm
Drinking to anaesthetise the pain

      G             Cadd9
Don't know where it comes from

     Am                 D            G
Been there ever since I was young, I guess

    Bm7              Cadd9              Cm
But when I'm with my friends, I feel it less

G           Cadd9
Time out of my mind

Am            D              Bm
That's when I find I'm at my best
[Outro]
       C

Ooh-ooh-oh

Cm
Ooh-ooh
