Intro: C F C F 

Verse 1:
 
         C 
I go outside 
                        F 
Ask the air if it would like to hide 
             C 
Take a deep breath 
       Am          
Walk inside my prize 
        F                 C 
In my lungs I still feel young 
        Em         Fm    Am 
But my body won't play along 
              F                     G         C  
I'm thinking this must not be where we belong 

Verse 2: (Same as verse 1)
 
And the world 
Split in two from the throng 
Of every living soul 
Screaming at the top of their lungs 
Singing this is my word 
But somehow we never get heard 
There's just an echo 
From a lost and lonely world 


       F             C 
And I dare you to survive 
       Em            Fm           C     B 
Being grown for the rest of your life 
       F       G                  C 
From adulthood no one survives. 

Verse 3:
 
             C 
Ten billion feet 
                 F 
Pounding at the ground each week 
       Am             Em               G 
Every secret, every burden they keep 
             F             C 
Each one's waiting on the chance 
       Em             Fm         C 
To be lifted off the ground but then 
      F                 G                C       
To discover that we'll all be dust again 

Chorus 

Interlude: 
F C Em Fm Am B F G Am 
F C Em Fm Am B F G C 

 
        F             C 
And I dare you to survive 
       Em            Fm           C   B  
Being grown for the rest of your life 
          F    G            Am         
From adulthood no one survives. 
          F    G            C 
From adulthood no one survives.
