    D                       C
Ten thousand words swarm around my head
      G                              D            C     G
Ten million more in books written beneath my bed
    D                C                  G
I wrote or read them all when searchin' in the swarms
                             D              C     G
Still can't find out how to hold my hands
        D              C                G
And I know you need me in the next room over
                            D            C        G
But I am stuck in here all paralyzed
     D              C
For months I got myself in ruts 
          G                               D               C    G
Too much time spent in mirrors framed in yellow walls
D  C  G  G
D  C  G  G
    D           C                    G
And everyone around me shakes their head in disbelief
              D              C         G
And says I'm too caught up
           D               C
They say young is good and old is fine
      G
And truth is cool but all that matters 
        D                     C      G
Is you have your good times
           D                     C
But their good times come with prices
       G                                D                C     G
And I can't believe it when I hear the jokes they make
   D           C                 G
At anyone's expense except their own
                          D                 C      G
Would they laugh if they knew who paid?

And after we are through ten years
    G                             D               C       G
Of making it to be the most of glorious debuts
      D                 C
I'll come back home without my things
            G                                   D               C    G
'Cause the clothes I wore out there I will not wear 'round you
                D              C               G
And they'll be quick to point out our shortcomings
                              D                     C        G
And how the experts all have had their doubts
