Capo 2 


Intro: Em  G  C  Em D  D5 A 


verse 1: 

Em 
  Well I've tried to live like 
                 G         C 
The way that you wanted me to 
      Em         D 
Never needed the proof 
     D5           A 
Just followed the rules 
Em 
  I pick up all the pieces 
              G        C 
And I move my feet as fast as I can 
           Em        D 
I'm always falling behind 
     D5           A 
Just float in the lines 
Em                                       G        C  
  You want more and ambition's taken its toll on you 
              Em    D       D5 
Well hey your confidence is fading 
A 
With your youth 


Pre-Chorus 

C 
 And you say 
       G                      D       C 
That dreamers always get what they desire 
(C) 
Well I've found 
     G                         D    
The more I want, the less I've got 



[Refrão]

   C 
Is this the life you've been waiting for? 
G           D                   C 
 Or are you hoping that you'll be 
                                   
Where you want with a little more? 


verse 2: 
Em                G       C 
  You're coughing blood again 
                Em           D 
I know 'cause I clean up the mess 
      D5      A 
Every now and then 
Em  
  Fold the line along the seam 
                  G     C                  
Force a smile and never say what you mean 
              Em       D 
You're in the promised land 
           D5     A 
In someone else's dream 
Em 
  If you want more and you'll get there 
                G       C 
Throw a quarter in the well 
       Em          D 
It's okay, you're fine 
  D5       A 
Ambition's not a crime 


Pre-Chorus 
C 
 And you say 
       G                      D       C 
That dreamers always get what they desire 
(C) 
Well I've found 
     G                         D    
The more I want, the less I've got

 Well, ask yourself
