Key: A
Introduction:
G C G5 G D G5 C
We got our first McDonalds and it made the headline news
G C G5 G D G5 C
In a town where no one locks their doors at night.
G C G5 G D G5 C
All the lights are flashing yellow, we just roll right through,
G C G5 G D G5 C
And there is not a superstore in sight
D Em
But there's more to life, I told myself
Am Em D2 D D4
I'd say goodbye by the time the clock struck twelve.
G5 D4 D D2 D Em C D
And I can't pull the trigger on that changing world out there.
G5 D4 D D2 DEm C D
With all these dreams I can't believe I'm still standing here.
Bm Em C
It's time to face the fact I'm not the rebel that I thought,
C G D G
'cause midnight's gone, but I'm not.
G C G5 G D G5 C
Everyone I run into has known me all my life.
G C G5 G D G5 C
There are no secrets you can call your own.
G C G5 G D G5 C
Since the age of seventeen I've faced the morning light
G C G5 G D G5 C
Saying this day is the day I'm gonna go.
D Em
All I have to do is drive away,
Am Em D2 D D4
But the things that make me crazy always make me stay.
(repeat chorus)
Bm Em C
It's time to face the fact I'm not the rebel that I thought,
C G D C G D G
'cause midnight's gone, midnight's gone, but I'm not.
