Intro : C G Em D
C G Em D
I was young, Id seen it all. A cemetery in the middle of a super mall.
I went to school. I never learned. How it feels, how everything you love can burn.
And it never stops. Its all I got. And I never know when to turn.
Like a merry-go-round it all comes around again.
[CORO]

I moved away, I quit the band. I saw it comin it was written on the back of my hand.
Every day. I could feel. Something' missin' I went home to get a record deal."
And my mother said, your theirs to your dead, to them its just another meal.
Now I'm fat with regret. Im placin' my bet on me."

My heart is younger, stronger than 100 cowards in a row

To a place when I was mine
