Hey Kid

C#m              B
Hey kid... do you remember me?
A                 G#
Don’t be scared — we’re still the same
C#m              B
I know you never dreamed it’d be
A                 G#
This kind of game

C#m              B
We thought we’d rule the world someday
A                 G#
That freedom had no price to pay
C#m              B
Oh, my boy... I owe you tears
A                 G#
No one cares what’s in here

C#m              B
You had fire in your veins
A                 G#
Now it’s smoke in my lungs
C#m              B
Every dream that we burned
A                 G#
Still whispers in tongues

C#m              B
I... still try to find you
A                 G#
In the noise of the days
C#m              B
But I... can barely hear you
A                 G#
Through the bills I pay

C#m              B
Hey kid... I lost your smile
A                 G#
Sold it cheap for a little peace
C#m              B
Thought I’d find some meaning
A                 G#
But it just won’t stick

C#m              B
I built a house, but it’s not home
A                 G#
Filled the rooms with empty tones
C#m              B
You once said we’d change the world —
A                 G#
Guess the world changed me first

C#m              B
Who would I be... if I had been?
A                 G#
Who would I be... if I had left instead of stayed in?

C#m              B
I... still try to find you
A                 G#
In the noise of the days
C#m              B
But I... can barely hear you
A                 G#
Through the mask I made

C#m              B      A  G#
“Hey kid… remember me…”
