[Intro]
F# E E2 F# F#2 G# E3 x3
[Verse 1]
DFirst thing we'd climb a trD2ee
DAnd maybe then we'd taD2lk
DOr sit silentlyD2
DAnd listen to our thouD2ghts
CWith illusions of someday
DCast in a golden light
CNo dress rehearsal
F#3This is our life
F# E E2 F# F#2 G# E3 x2
[Pre-Chorus]
DAnd that's where the hornet stung me
CAnd I had a feverish dream
DWith revenge and doubt
CTonight we smoke them out
[Chorus]
AYou are ahead by a century
BYou are ahead by a century
AYou are ahead by a century
F# E E2 F# F#2 G# E3 x4
[Verse 2]
DStare in the morning shroD2ud
DAnd then the day begaD2n
DI tilted your clouD2d
DYou tilted my hanD2d
CRain falls in real time
DAnd rain fell through the night
CNo dress rehearsal, tF#3his is our life
[Pre-Chorus]
DBut that's when the hornet stung me
CAnd I had a serious Ddream
With revenge and dCoubt
CTonight we smoked them Dout
[Chorus]
AYou are ahead by a century
BYou are ahead by a century
AYou are ahead by a century
AYou are ahead by a century
BYou are ahead by a century
AYou are ahead by a centuryB
