Born in the Eighties Milow
[Am]I grew up in the 9[C]0's at least t[G]hat's what [C]I tried
[C]looking for [G]ways to [Am]be satisf[G]ied
[Am]I went to San [C]Diego to[G] try out my[C] luck
[C]came back 12 months [G]later and a[Am]gain I was stuck[G]
[F]I felt like a [C]goldfish [G]stuck in a b[C]owl
I was [F]waiting for [C]something that [G]I could con[F]trol
[Am]after 20[C]00 no long[G]er a ki[C]d
[C]the world didn't [G]end but [Am]something else d[G]id
[Am]when my father takes[C] off I'm alrea[G]dy 1[C]9
[C]he wasn't as[G] happy as I[Am] thought he s[G]eemed
if [F]this is my [C]screenplay I [G]don't like my [C]role
[F]these are the [C]things that you jus[G]t can't c[F]ontrol
althoug[Am]h I feel a lo[C]t older I'm j[G]ust 2[C]3
[C]if you're looking for [G]answers [Am]don't come to m[G]e
[Am]instead of a f[C]uture I've g[G]ot a guitar[C]
[C]but dreaming out l[G]oud w[Am]on't get me [G]far

[F]still I feel I'm [C]ready [G]for rock'n r[C]oll
[F]there might be s[C]omething tha[G]t I can con[F]trol
by the [Am]time I hit 3[C]0 I'l[G]l have en[C]ough
[C]of being a tw[G]enty som[Am]ething in lo[G]ve
[Am]my friends will all be m[C]arried or t[G]hey will be g[C]one
I[C]'ll still be won[G]dering[Am] what's going [G]on
if [F]that's what it t[C]akes then I[G]'ll sell my so[C]ul
[F]as long as the[C]re's something t[G]hat I can co[F]ntrol
one [Am]day I'll wake u[C]p and I'll [G]be 3[C]8
[C]doing the th[G]ings[Am] I used to ha[G]te
[Am]the trick to f[C]orget the bigger pi[G]cture is wh[C]en
[C]you look at everything in close[G]-up [Am]as often as you [G]can
[F]our revolut[C]ion is [G]covered in m[C]old
cause [F]here's only [C]so much[G] we can con[F]trol
[Am]this is no an[C]them because [G]anthems are pro[C]ud
[C]and pride isn't s[G]omething [Am]that this is abo[G]ut
[Am]I shouldn't car[C]e shouldn't ca[G]re[C]
[C]but I do and that's sometimes to[G]o hard to b[Am]ear[G]
still wa[F]lking the s[C]ame road with my s[G]hoes full of ho[C]les
[F]just waiting f[C]or something that w[G]e can con[F]trol
if I [Am]ever reach [C]50 [G]or [C]55
[C]too early to t[G]ell if I'll s[Am]till be ali[G]ve
we were [Am]born in the 80[C]'s and n[G]ow we are h[C]ere
[C]my genera[G]tion's d[Am]ream will disapp[G]ear
[F]I'm at a grave[C]yard pass[G]ing the ro[C]ws
a sil[F]ent surrende[C]r we'll[G] never get [C]close
[F]this is my st[C]ory you sw[G]allowed it wh[C]ole
[F]about us feeling the[C] need to be[G] in contr[C]ol
