E                                                                       C#m 
There are some things that you never want to see 
C#m 
Situations that you struggle to believe 
                    A             Am           E   
Now you're older and I am older too 
E                                                                    C#m 
There are some things that you said you'd never do 
C#m 
But we both know that's not entirely true 
         A             Am                           E  
You did them, didn't we do them together? 


        A 
So where did you go? 
G# 
What do you know? 
C#m                                                          E 
You can't hide your head in the clouds forever 
A                                  G# 
What did we say about drifting away? 
           C#m                                              G# 
We said it won't happen to us, now we're too clever 
           C#m       B                 A     
Well I guess we weren't that clever 


E                                                                 C#m 
Piece is moving, made the picture fall apart 
C#m 
So you take them and go back to the start 
            A             Am                                  E   
Well it leaves you, wondering what you began with 
                                                                               C#m 
There were chances that you never seemed to take 
C#m 
Opportunities were handed on a plate 
              A             Am                          E   
So you sit there, waiting for fortune to find you 


        A 
So where did you go? 
G# 
What do you know? 
C#m                                                          E 
You can't hide your head in the clouds forever 
A                                  G# 
What did we say about drifting away? 
                  C#m                                              G# 
We said it won't happen to us, now we're too clever 
           C#m       B                 A     
Well I guess we weren't that clever after all

You can't put your head in your hands forever
