          Am
You could never
really win Not
to say you're
born to lose
         E/G#
You were born to
take 10th place
out of 20 in the
       F
field Mistakes
flow through your
veins in a mediocre
G  E/G#      Am
way    Your life
is a living hell
You've got gremlins
in your blood cells
    E/G#
And monsters in
your bed Their
haunting you again
F
Oh it must be this
place at least that's
          G     E/G#
what you say say
Am E/G# Fm G
say

Chorus:
C          Am
You don't love
you anymore
           F
Cast your demons
aside Keep them
Dm
close enough to
       F
know what you're
 G        C
running from
Soon you won't
Am
feel this anymore
           F
Cast your demons
aside Keep them
Dm
close enough
          F
to know that
        G
you're moving on

A fire used to burn
In your heart and in your eyes
You used to dream, you used to care
You used to love, you used to fight
For anything at all
You'd cover up your bedroom walls
with who you want to be
Now you're afraid to be yourself
And you search the malls for something else
You read magazines and watch MTV
You've practiced it, and everything
Oh, you're dressed to impress
But you look like a drag queen

Chorus

Am                   E/G#
So keep your head up high
                     G
Stretch inches into miles
          F
Because Brooklyn wasn't
Em              Am
built in just a day
         E/G#
Focus on important things
G
Be your own gun like
F                Em
every ghost that held
              Am  E/G# Fm G
you down was gone

            F
Keep them close
enough to know
that your moving on

Chorus
