Like every time the leaves would fall
You'd promise me that they'd be back again
And I believed in you

Written down in hard-bound books
The way things used to be (?)
I'd swear they're all for you

Mama said shit I don't know what you'll do
As if it's up to you
You always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that I've gone too far
(The rest till the end is C-G-A#-F)
As bright as you are
Don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are
Don't get burned by your lucky star

Your lucky star can turn you around
Your lucky star will burn out
Your lucky star can turn you around
Turn you around
Turn you around
Turn you around
Turn you around

(verse)
You changed my face,
I think I like it better now.
It doesn't matter anyhow, cuz that's the way it is.
You said hello,
Well where the hell you been?
I said I feel like I've been off to war, and I may never be the same
again.
(verse)
I made my bed,
But now I can't sleep at night.
I'm tossin and turnin you know, you know it ain't right.
I'd love to beg,
See, but I'm just too proud.
And I don't even know what to say, so I'm thinking out loud.
(chorus)
And when you dream 17,
I ain't there, so I don't care.
Cuz in all my dreams, I'm 23,
And she's the girl right next to me.
See that girl right next to me.
(verse)
I lie in my bed,
You're running through my head.
Going over and over and over, the things that you said.
I'm caught in the trap,
I'll run like hell right back to you.
Cuz it's over with you and you know it means drinking alone.
(chorus)
And when you dream 17,
I ain't there, so I don't care.
Cuz in all my dreams, I'm 23,
And she's the girl right next to me.
See that girl right next to me.

E5 G5 D5 E5(VII) C5
I've got no politics, no influential friend or two
E5 G5 D5 E5(VII) C5
I've got ideas, but it's nothing I picked up at school
E5 G5 D5 E5(VII) C5
I might be running, but I'm never running back to you
(bridge - riff 1)
And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply
And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie
(verse)
I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by
You've got no power and my situation don't apply
You ask me how I am, I lie and say I'm doing fine
(bridge)
And with your sugar-sweetened alibi, there was a truth I never knew
And all the attitude you gave me, it's coming back to you
(chorus)
G D5 E5(VII) C5
String of lies, it's always compromise with you

G D E7 C(add9)
Happy, smilin', cryin' upwards to my past,
G D E7 C(add9)
I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last.
G D E7 C(add9)
And now I find myself a-tugging at your dress.
G D E7 C(add9)
The funnel holding me down, oh see the cloud, it's never gonna pass.
Break: G-D-E7-C(add9) (2x)
(bass in here, see my bass tab for the cool riff)
G5SomewherD5e there's E5a placC5e a soul can never go,
G5Gray-likD5e stormE5y skies C5I hoped you didn't know.
G5All ouD5r postcardE5s full ofC5 things I won't forget.
G D E7 C(add9)
And now it's coming down, that laughing clown is all I ever get.
G D E7 C(add9)
Another second time around, I've been runnin' from ya
G D E7 C(add9)
Another second time around.
G D E7 C(add9)
Another second, one more second time, I waited for ya,
G D E7 C(add9)
Another second time around.
D5Couldn'C5t help myself,
I D5felt likC5e everythD5ing was gonna pass.
It waC5s an awkward time,
I D5hoped it wC5ouldn't, hoped it couldn't last.
(Solo like only Johnny Rzeznik does...)
G5And D5I didn'E5t know exaC5ctly what to say,
G5About thD5e things yE5ou saw D5me do my evil way.
(*** add riff at bottom **)
G5And I knoD5w you'rE5e lyin',C5 cryin' in your bed.
G D E7 C(add9)
Well I'm all tired out, so wired out, it's ringing in my head.
G D E7 C(add9)
Another second time around, I've been runnin' from ya
G D E7 C(add9)
Another second time around.
G D E7 C(add9)
Another second, one more second time, I waited for ya,
G D E7 C(add9)
Another second time around.
G D E7 C(add9)
Another second time around.
G D E7 C(add9)
Another second time around.

Just a boy who's young at heart
His smile was a bit like yours today
Had a wife, a kid, some strife
Never had to go astray
Happiness evolved
Life was in full swing
At 17, all the things he wanted
Were things he'd never seen
(chorus)
It don't seem fair, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there
