[Intro]
Em C G D
(x3)

Em C D

[Verse 1]
Em
I’m an educated fool
C G D
So I don’t know what is I’m supposed to do
Em
About this awkward situation
C D
That’s been forced down right upon me

[Verse 2]
Em
As I’m walking down into
C G D
On my own into the valley of life
Em
Got a lifetime of experience
C D
I’ve got so much to give

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Open the page on chapter one
C G D
Could this just be that life’s just begun
Em
Forever within your darker thoughts
C G D
Reflecting on everything you’ve been taught

[Verse 3]
Em
Never felt this way before
C G
Seems that somebody’s just opened
D Em
The door to the book of life
Or is it death?
C D
Is there ever any way out?

[Verse 4]
Em
Someone’s looking down on me
C G D
To the very inner core of my soul
Em
They won’t tell me what they see
C D
But I really want to know

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I want to live my life on my own
C G D
I want to lift the unturned stone
Em
I want to walk right into the fire
C G D
I want to live out all my desires
Em
I want to go and see the fire burn
C G D
I want to see and feel my world turn
Em
I want to know what more there’s to learn
C G D
I want to pass the point of no return

[Verse 5]
Em
Do you really want to be
C D
Just another one statistic
Em
Or feel that you really should aspire?
C D
That you really do deserve more?

[Verse 6]
Em
Do you ever really feel
C D
That you have so much potential inside?
Em
What you really have to give
C D
Could be realised much more

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I want to live my life on my own
C G D
I want to lift the unturned stone
Em
I want to walk right into the fire
C G D
I want to live out all my desires
Em
I want to go and see the fire burn
C G D
I want to see and feel my world turn
Em
I want to know what more there’s to learn
C G D
I want to pass the point of no return

[Chorus]
Em G C D Em G C D
Time will flow and I will follow
Em G C D Em G C D
Time will go, but I will follow
Em G C D Em G C D
Time will flow and I will follow
Em G C D Em G C D
Time will go, but I will follow
