[Pattern I]
CWhen you were born you were not Galone
Nothing was carved into the Fstone
Quiet [?] but don't forget
You hCeard someone say it wonG't get better than Cthis
That was the sound of your father
AGs he held you up to your mother
FNo one will ever know
CThe love as pure as the one Gthat you felt right theCn
CThey held you Gup, they held youDm up
And eCverybody else they Gfell to the wayside
CThis is the stuff of beginning
GThe prologue to the yarn that you're spinning
FA million synonyms will nevCer come close to describe tGhe feeling
FFF CCC G
Dont ever leave cause if you do dear
I guaranCtee that you’llF regret
The day you did
And youll miss aCll the simple things
And youll see evFerything you ever loved
Start fGading till there's Fnothing left but dust
}
[Chorus]
{
CAnd I belGieve that Fevery broken boGne is meant to bCe
And when it hFeals it will be Gstronger than it was before
ACnd I see the Gthings that I prFetend thaGt I don't sCee
AnFd I store them in my Ghead, love
GIf only for memories

[Same as I]
{
So now youre young and you feel alone
Despite frienFds, family, and all the good things now surrounding you
You cant help thinking
Oh there's gotta be some more to do
When all the things that you cherish
Turn into burdens and there is
No other fantasy
You know what you gotta do but you don’t know how
They hold you back
They hold you down
And youre gonna feel bad but you know that you gotta get out
This is your pain your dilemma
Will you stay in the town that they raised you
Or will you sail away
Pull the anchor and go in for the [?] one day
You have to leave
Cause if you don’t dear
Youll never see the things you read about in books
You saw the films and you were hooked
But everything you want won’t come to you
And you realize now that you gotta go see this through
}
[Chorus x2]
