Intro: Am (Am4) Am F G C 
 
Dm7             G4        Am7             
  a boy becomes normal today 
finally breaks away 
into freshness and understanding 
he pushed the world he knew 
F 
will the world break him back 
 
F A G 
 
C            E        Dm7      F A G 
will someone snap him in half 
and build back the glass 
or is it just the boy now 
 
E 
 
Repeat everything
