Intro: G C G C

    G
You wish upon the ceiling, 
             C
'cause it's all that you can see 
    Em                          C
and when it doesn't answer you denounce it bitterly. 
        G                               C
You've found yourself someplace that's not a place at all. 
    Em                                     C
But you can't leave till you confess; you stood no chance at all. 
Am       Em         Bm C 
It's not really giving in; if you were never gonna win. 

G C

G
When you wear your work clothes, 
     C
you feel like such a fraud. 
         Em                 C
Is your only validation to hear someone applaud? 
G
You're waiting for approval, 
       C
that's never gonna come. 
     Em
You want some adoration,
       C 
well, doesn't everyone.
Am   Em         C 
You don't deserve anymore than what you earn. 
     Am                      D                   G
You say you don't want to be just like everybody else, 
                     A    C
just like everybody else says. 
    G                           C
Is every path you come across nearly beat to death? 
     Em
The hour's not just running late 
     C
it's weak and out of breath. 
G                               C
Holding on to something that's just a wish at best. 
   Em
A tired dream, 
                       C
a waste of time that should be put to rest, 
                      G
but you won't let it rest. 
     C              G
You can't let it rest.
    C               G      C...
you won't let it rest.
