Lyrics

[Verse 1]
D
 Do you wanna be
            G
Like your father?
                 D
The older you get
                       G
Your head's getting hotter
                 D
Pick up the phone
             G
When he calls you
                   D
You know he's alone
                         G
He's preaching 'cause he loves you
                    D
Where have you been?

[Verse 2]
            G
Jack's been waiting
In your room every night
D                       G
 Why don't you stay home tonight?

[Chorus]
D                         G
 Could you waste your life
Em                    G
  If you painted mine?
D                    G
 Now the day has died
                 F#m                  G
But it's too late   to close your eyes

[Post-Chorus]
    | D | - | - |
| - | G | - | - |
| - |

[Verse 3]
D
Time keeps telling me to change
                          G
But I'm fragile and afraid

[Interlude]
    | Bm | - | D  |
| - | Bm | - | Em |
| G |

[Chorus]
D                         G
 Could you waste your life
Em                    G
  If you painted mine?
D                    G
 Now the day has died
                 F#m                  Em
But it's too late   to close your eyes
   F#m            Em
To close your eyes
F#m            Em
Close your eyes

[Verse 4]
    D
The clock, it ticks
                G
I have to get older
     D
When I wake up
                  Em
And the dream is over
D
Packed away
                  G
My life moving slower
      D           A/C#      G
Oh I'd hate to get    any older
      D           A/C#      G
Oh I'd hate to get    any older

[Verse 5]
    D
The clock, it ticks
                G
I have to get older
     D
When I wake up
                  G
And the dream is over
D
Packed away
                  G
My life moving slower
      D           A/C#      G
Oh I'd hate to get    any older
      D           A/C#      G  Em
Oh I'd hate to get    any older

[Outro]
G    D            G
 I always knew I'd let you go
Em                   G
  Have to see you die to grow
D                           G
 Don't you let them tell you who you are
Em                         G
  Hope that as you keep collecting scars
         D       G Em G
You never know my      pain
D G Em G
