D                          A                     B 
Older people I looked up to now just seem so lame 
C                     B G 
Their idealism is gone   just like "the old days" 

Burnt out and jaded, their old spirit faded 
I hope that in a few years I don't feel the same way... 

D         A    E            B 
As we get older new faces appear 
D     A    E                 B 
every day.  Do you have any idea 
D        A      E             B 
of the direction of things to come

D                   C# C 
I've always felt music  was something to believe in 
G                      A Bb   F    C  F     E 
I've always wanted more  than just a "scene" 
Like any other social group that we outgrow in time 
Growing up and moving on and leaving it
