Intro:

C B A G F E G

C B

If I could walk a straight mile

A G

I could write it down in shorthand

F E

I could show you

G

If you want me to

C B

And if I had an hourglass

A G

I'd save the grains of time I spent with you

F E

And that's what I'd do

G

But I remember

F E G

You always said it could be great

And I knew it could be

Well there's a way you look at things

That no one needs to know but you

And you shout em with me

Like every time the leaves would fall

You'd promise me that they'd be back again

And I believed in you

F E G

You always said it could be great

But I hadn't time to waste

F E D

Now it seems that I've gone too far

C G

As bright as you are

A# F

Don't get burned by your lucky star

C G

Bright as you are

A# F

Don't get burned by your lucky star

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 will burn out

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

F G C

They're gonna 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.

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

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

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

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)

G5 D5 E5 C5

Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go,

G5 D5 E5 C5

Gray-like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know.

G5 D5 E5 C5

All our postcards full of 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.

D5 C5

Couldn't help myself,

D5 C5 D5

I felt like everything was gonna pass.

C5

It was an awkward time,

D5 C5

I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last.

(Solo like only Johnny Rzeznik does...)

G5 D5 E5 C5

And I didn't know exactly what to say,

G5 D5 E5 D5

About the things you saw me do my evil way.

(*** add riff at bottom **)

G5 D5 E5 C5

And I know you're lyin', cryin' in your bed.

D5 G5

I look outside my window

B5 A5 D5

Everything was blanketed in white

G5

The neighbors pushing cars out

B5 A5 D5

From snow that fell on us last night

G5

Started thinking 'bout

B5 A5 D5

The things we used to do when we were young

G5

Back when things were simple

B5 A5

And getting up was fun

(chorus)

G5 A5 G5

I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there

A5 G5 A5 G5 A5

I'm already there, and I'm ready there

(verse)

Turn around and face the clock

I'd sit and watch, as time went hoppin' by

I'm still growing up

My friends are growing old before my eyes

Count the stars above

Wonder when the heavens will subside

Knowing our two worlds

Will someday just collide

(chorus)

I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there.

I'm already there, and I'm ready there

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

I said I ain't dying face down

He said you've got to die facing up in the world

'Cause there's too many holes around

He said I looked like a Hollywood girl

I said that Hollywood can fall into the ocean, man

'Cause it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world
