Introdução:

 Am                               C                         G                   C 
I grew up in the 90's at least that's what I tried
 C                     G             Am             G 
looking for ways to be satisfied
 Am                       C             G                   C 
I went to San Diego to try out my luck
 C                                     G                   Am                           G 
came back 12 months later and again I was stuck
 F                         C               G                     C 
I felt like a goldfish stuck in a bowl
             F                     C                           G                   F 
I was waiting for something that I could control
 Am           C                 G           C 
after 2000 no longer a kid
 C                               G             Am                           G 
the world didn't end but something else did
 Am                                   C                         G     C 
when my father takes off I'm already 19
 C                     G                   Am                     G 
he wasn't as happy as I thought he seemed
       F                   C                       G                         C 
if this is my screenplay I don't like my role
 F                         C                                   G               F 
these are the things that you just can't control
 Am                       C                     G                   C 
although I feel a lot older I'm just 23
 C                     G             Am             G 
if you're looking for answers don't come to me
 Am                       C             G                   C 
instead of a future I've got a guitar
 C                       G                   Am                     G 
but dreaming out loud won't get me far
 F                         C               G                     C 
still I feel I'm ready for rock'n roll
           F             C                           G                   F 
there might be something that I can control
 Am           C                 G           C 
by the time I hit 30 I'll have enough
 C                               G             Am                           G 
of being a twentysomething in love
 Am                                   C                         G     C 
my friends will all be married or they will be gone
 C                     G                   Am                     G 
me, I'll still be wondering what's going on
       F                   C                       G                         C 
if that's what it takes then I'll sell my soul
 F                         C                                   G               F 
as long as there's something that I can control
 Am                   C                   G                   C 
one day I'll wake up and I'll be 38
 C                     G             Am             G 
doing the things I used to hate
 Am                       C             G                   C 
the trick to forget the bigger picture is when
 C                                     G                   Am                           G 
you look at everything in close-up as often as you can
 F                         C               G                     C 
our revolution is covered in mold
             F             C                   G                   F 
there's only so much you can control
 Am           C                 G           C 
this is no anthem because anthems are proud
 C                               G             Am                           G 
and pride isn't something that this is about
 Am                                   C                         G     C 
I shouldn't care shouldn't care
 C                     G                   Am                     G 
but I do and that's sometimes too hard to bear
       F                   C                       G                         C 
still walking the same road with my shoes full of holes
 F                         C                                   G               F 
just waiting for something that we can control
 Am           C                 G           C 
if I ever reach 50 or 65
 C                     G             Am             G 
too early to tell if I'll still be alive
 Am                       C             G                   C 
we were born in the 80's and now we are here
 C                   G                   Am                   G 
my generation's dream will disappear
 F                         C               G                     C 
I'm at a graveyard passing the rows
             F                     C                 G                   F 
a silent surrender we'll never get close
 Am           C                 G           C 
this is my story you swallowed it whole
 C                               G             Am                           G 
about us feeling the need to be in control
