F F2 F F2
When I was just a little kid they told me to dream big

you can do anything
C2 C C2
when I got older they told me to stop dreaming
F F2 F F2
start being more realistic, make the coffee do the dishes
C C2 C C2
but I can't seem to keep my head out of the clouds
F F2
cause whats the point of living life

to work until I die

That can't be it and if it is then I want out
F F2 F F2
and honestly I never had a dream of getting older
C C2 C C2

Bridge
Am7 D72 C C2 C
Cause I never wanted to be every single stereotype of a white middle class 20-something pissed at the economy
Am7 D72 E Am F2
I never meant to be the epitome of a quarter life crisis and being a junkie didn't live up to the hype

verse 2
F F2 F F2
When I was just a little kid they told me I was special
C C2 C C2
Then I grew up and found out they told that to every single one of us
F F2 F F2
get addicted to our drugs then go away to universities
C C2 C C2
where we'll sell you dreams then make you work for free
F F2 F F2
They handed us an economy thats destined us for poverty
C C2 C C2
then have the nerve to call us soft and lazy for complaining

cause they're from a generation where you could be what you wanted to be
C C2 C F
but baby I'm a 90's kid, only 90's kids will understand this

got bill collectors calling us to pay back student loans
F C E Am Am7
but they can't ever find us if we throw away our phones
(Palm muted)
F C E Am Am7
then we can sit in diners, drinking coffee smoking cigarettes outside
F C E Am Am7
look in each others' eyes without cell phone lights to hide behind and
(hits)
F C E Am Am7
we can just kick off our shoes and make these sidewalks home
F C E Am Am7
we'll write songs and sing for food and we'll never be alone
(strummed)
F C E Am Am7
never be alone, never be alone, never be alone when we're with friends

no we'll never owe shit to anyone else
F F2 F
no we'll never owe shit to anyone
