[Hook + Interlude]

 C        F          Am     G
teenage dreams in a teenage circus
 C        F             Am      G
running around like a clown on purpose
 C           F              Am         G
who gives a damn about the family you come from
 C        F               Am            G
no giving up when you’re young and you want some

C          F      Am     G
running around again
C             F       Am     G
running from running

[Verse 1]

       C     F
waking up
        Am     G
in the midday sun
           C        F
what’s to live for?
           Am            G
you could see what I’ve done
  C             F
staying out of motion
        Am       G
in the light of day
       C  F
I was hiding
           Am               G
from the things that you’d say

[Bridge]

C                   G         F
 we are not what you think we are
        C              G   F
we are golden, we are golden
C                   G         F
 we are not what you think we are
        C              G   F
we are golden, we are golden

[Verse 2]

         C    F
I was a boy
      Am    G
at an open door
          C      F
why you staring
               Am          G
do you still think that you know
C           F
 looking for treasure
         Am           G
in the things that you threw
        C       F
like a magpie

            Am         G
I live for glitter, not you

[Verse 3]

Am                 F
 now I'm sitting alone
                     C
and I'm looking for help
                 G
left here on my own
                  Am
I'm gonna hurt myself
                      F
many years have gone by
                     C
I'm still wondering why
                G
heaven let the world
                 C
let it bleed me dry

[Interlude 2]

we are not what you think we are
