Born in the Eighties
guitar chords lyrics
Am C G C
I grew up in the 90's at least that's what I tried
C G Am G
looking for ways to be satisfied
Am C G C
I went to San Diego to try out my luck
C G Am G
came back 12 months later and again I was stuck
F C G C
I felt like a goldfish stuck in a bowl
F C G F
I was waiting for something that I could control
Am C G C
after 2000 no longer a kid
C G Am G
the world didn't end but something else did
Am C G C
when my father takes off I'm already 19
C G Am G
he wasn't as happy as I thought he seemed
F C G C
if this is my screenplay I don't like my role
F C G F
these are the things that you just can't control
Am C G C
although I feel a lot older I'm just 23
C G Am G
if you're looking for answers don't come to me
Am C G C
instead of a future I've got a guitar
C G Am G
but dreaming out loud won't get me far
F C G C
still I feel I'm ready for rock'n roll
F C G F
there might be something that I can control
Am C G C
by the time I hit 30 I'll have enough
C G Am G
of being a twenty something in love
Am C G C
my friends will all be married or they will be gone
C G Am G
I'll still be wondering what's going on
F C G C
if that's what it takes then I'll sell my soul
F C G F
as long as there's something that I can control
Am C G C
one day I'll wake up and I'll be 38
C G Am G
doing the things I used to hate
Am C G C
the trick to forget the bigger picture is when
C G Am G
you look at everything in close-up as often as you can
F C G C
our revolution is covered in mold
F C G F
cause here's only so much we can control
Am C G C
this is no anthem because anthems are proud
C G Am G
and pride isn't something that this is about
Am C G C
I shouldn't care shouldn't care
C G Am G
but I do and that's sometimes too hard to bear
F C G C
still walking the same road with my shoes full of holes
F C G F
just waiting for something that we can control
Am C G C
if I ever reach 50 or 55
C G Am G
too early to tell if I'll still be alive
Am C G C
we were born in the 80's and now we are here
C G Am G
my generation's dream will disappear
F C G C
I'm at a graveyard passing the rows
F C G C
a silent surrender we'll never get close
F C G C
this is my story you swallowed it whole
F C G C
about us feeling the need to be in control
