Dm
And I want you to know
I took it with me
That when things are thrown away
Like they are daily
Time passes in the constant state

Chorus:
                     G
So if that is how it is
        Am             Am/G
I don't wanna be a star
        F
But a stone on the shore
A door frame in the wall
                        Em
When everything's overgrown
 Dm
But what she really really wanted was
my rights and my wrongs
And I wouldn't understand but
I would try to play along

And I want you to know
I took it with me
That when things are thrown away like they are daily
Time passes and the constants stay

Chorus:
So if that is how it is
I don’t wanna be a star
But a stone on the shore
A lone doorframe in a wall
When everything’s overgrown
But what she really really
wanted was my rights and my wrongs
And I wouldn’t understand but
I would try playing along
And I wouldn’t understand but
I would try playing along
And I wouldn’t understand but
I would try playing along

And I want you to know
I took it with me
That when things are thrown away like they are daily
Time passes and the constants stay
Time passes and the constants stay
Time passes and the constants stay
Time passes and the constants stay
