[Intro]
Play Riff 1 x4
[Verse]
D First thing we’d climb a treDe G D*
D And maybe then we’d taDlkG D*
D Or sit silentlDy G D*
D And listen to our thoDugGhtsD*
C With illusions of someday
D Casting a golden light
C No dress rehearsal
D* This is our life
[Bridge]
Play Riff 1 x2
[Pre-Chorus]
D And that’s where the hornet stung meC
And I had a feverish dDream
With revenge and douCbt
Tonight we smoke them D*out
[Chorus]
A You are ahead by a century
G You are ahead by a century
A You are ahead by a centuryG
[Bridge]
Play Riff 1 x4
[Verse]
D Stare in the morning shroDudG D*
D And then the day begaDn G D*
D I tilted your clouDd G D*
D You tilted my hanDd G D*
C Rain falls in real time
D And rain fell through the night
C No dress rehearsal
D* This is our life
[Bridge]
Play Riff 1 x2
[Pre-Chorus]
D That’s when the hornet stung meC
And I had a serious Ddream
With revenge and Cdoubt
Tonight we smoke them D*out
[Chorus]
A You are ahead by a century
G You are ahead by a century
A You are ahead by a century G
[Outro]
A You are ahead by a century
G You are ahead by a century
A You are ahead by a century
G And disappointing you is
Riff 1 x6
Getting me down
