VERSE:
[G] Is this what you meant?
Is [Am]this what you dreamed [Em]of?
[G]When you were making your plans
[Am]Shaking the dirt [Em]off?

VERSE:
I've been ch[G]ecking my sums
Oh [Am]where did the time g[Em]o?
Holding m[G]y photograph
[Am]Up to the win[Em]dow

And ref[Am]racted sun[Em] (Oh woah oh!)
I can [G]see all the things
[Am]I wish that I'd [Em]done
CHORUS:
You can hang your h[D]opes [Em]on the medi[C]cine
You can put your f[D]aith [Em]in the phone i[C]n
You can t[D]ell yourself you're d[Em]oing your b[C]est
You can do so [D]much b[Em]etter than [C]this
BRIDGE 1:
Get a [C]grip on yourself
Get a [A]grip on yourself
Could've [G]been something, but you're too [Am]late
And you [C]weren't [C/B]invited [Em]anyway
CHORUS:
Cos the photog[D]raph sh[Em]owed the wrong m[C]an
Cos there is no [D]soap star h[Em]olding your h[C]and

Must be someone [D]else u[Em]sing your [C]name
