verse 1  
 Am                    G  
    Forget about your name 
              Em  
And your reputation 
                    F  
Put down your occupation 
             Am  
And your education 
                   G  
I heard what you said 
                      Em  
About it being complicated 
                        F  
It ain't simple either way 
                            Am  
Yes, a dream will make you pay 


 Pre-Chorus  
               G  
Somebody out here counting on you 
            F                 Em  Am  
To break through somehow 
               G  
Somebody out here counting on you 
            F                 
To break through somehow 
 

[Refrão]
                Em   Am         G  
And you don't even know it 
                Em           F  
Where are you going? 
                 Am          G  
Or haven't you noticed 
                    Em          F  
You're hopelessly coping? 


 Post-Chorus (x2) 
 Am  
Settle, settle, settle down 
   G  
Instead of running, running round 
 Em  
Settle, settle, settle down 
   F  
Instead of running, running round 



 verse 2  
 Am                  G  
    So why play it safe? 
                         Em  
What you mean, "just in case"? 
                           F  
Well of course you might fail 
                     Am  
But that's what it takes 
                     G  
Can't run from the doubts 
                           Em  
Either way you're gonna struggle 
                         F  
Look in the mirror and argue 
                                         Am  
Then tell yourself it ain't worth the trouble 


 Pre-Chorus  
              G  
Somebody out here counting on you 
            F                  
To break through somehow 


 

[Refrão]
                Em   Am        G  
And you don't even know it 
                Em          F  
Where are you going? 
                 Am          G  
Or haven't you noticed 
                    Em         F  
You're hopelessly coping? 


 Post-Chorus (x2) 
 Am  
Settle, settle, settle down 
   G  
Instead of running, running round 
 Em  
Settle, settle, settle down 
   F  
Instead of running, running round 


 

[Refrão]
                    Am            G  
And you don't even know it 
                Em            F  
Where are you going? 
                 Am             G  
Or haven't you noticed 
                    Em            F  
You're hopelessly coping?
