Verse 1:
F#mAll of the good times our

          Aincrements with every
              E/G#sip from this glass oh
      F#mWe’re living the dream
   Din cobwebs and seeds
Alines from all the
       E/G#shitty novels we read
   F#mcontent to build
           Dcastles of sand and
        A             E/G#call ourselves royalty
        F#mI don’t want what was
           Dpromised I want the belief
          Athat it’s waiting for us
       E/G#All we need do is reach

    F#mOur heroes were strong
    Dthe villains all wrong
        Aand the women always
       E/G#       F#mneeded saving Now all
                Dof the glass is broken
    Aand all of my hair’s
      E/G#      F#min my hands And all of
                  Dmy hope has been stolen
      Aand I question the
           E/G#worth of a man

F#mHere’s to the real friends
    Athe ones that I haven’t
D             F#mseen in weeks Life flew
                 Aright out of our hands
                   DWe burned down the forest
but could not find a tree
   F#mWe fell for the trick
   Awe thought we would get
   DWe held to the pledge and
watched the prestige and
F#mwe found ourselves
         Asawed in half to an
         Daudience clapping.
