F#m Yeah, we're all fast breakers comin' out of the gates Takin' chances, we're the crash and burn Yeah, there is a way with beauty, but you never gave a love Across the line where none return Chorus: A# D#m I watch my television, almost lost my mind B E C# It said, "Open your eyes. Leave it all behind." D#m I heard the wind a whisperin', strong magic comin' on They comin' on for sure Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies Won't recognize them anymore, haha Wolves at my door, wised up quick Turned here and gone from on the go Seems the old folks who come up short Were the pretty little kids who didn't want it, no Chorus: I had to pay admission when I came tonight And it said, "Open my eyes. Leave it all behind."
