When I was just a boy

Gm
My momma told me, "Son:

You look so serious

Smile and have some fun"

My father let me know

"Life isn't fun and games

Dm    C         Gm
Gotta sell your soul!"
[Pre-Chorus]

So close to where I started

I went to war for peace of mind

Dm            C
But what's it for?

                 Gm
I'm dancing on a tightrope

No time to mess around

Just trying to let my mind go

I'm never coming down

I found a preacher man

Gm
To help me understand

Dm
What we are doing here

And now the years have passed

Gm
Been to the moon and back

Dm
And all I've realized

No one knows a thing

What was it for?
