G                               C 
I'd build a ladder to the moon 
G                                 C 
And there i'd carve your name 
G                                     C 
If it would brighten up this room 
G                           C 
But u know that anyway 
 
G                 C 
I can't be the rock 
G       C 
Not today 
G                             C 
Sometimes i wanna pop 
G                             C 
Sometimes i wanna say 
D                   C 
I'd like to breakdown 
D                         C 
But i can't find the time 
D                            C        Bm         Em 
They're all lookin' to me, to keep it in line 
  C                        
1. I hope i can keep it in line 
2. I'm gonna keep it in line 
3. I'm gonna keep it in line, just like every single time 
G                            C 
Sometimes i slow it down 
G                               C 
To hear what i haven't heard 
G                                C 
When darkness rolls around 
G                     C 
I scream at the world 
 
G                            C 
His picture's on my wall 
G                            C 
He looks about my age 
G                                       C 
I wonder if he ever  broke at all 
G                                    C 
I wonder if he ever had to say 
 G                            C 
It's gonna work itself out 
G           C 
It always does 
G                         C 
At the last drop of doubt 
G                      C 
Just like it never was
