Capo on 4th fret
              
 
                   G 
Welcome to another world 
            A7                 Am 
Look at the water, look at whatever 
C             D           G 
 We broke the last one apart 
                 A7                 Am 
And put it back together, it didn't matter 
C       D            G 
 It's a little biblical 
              A7                 Am 
A little bit tragic, it may be fantastic 
C      D           G 
 Every once in a while 
             A7                   Am     C    D 
Every little thing, Every little thing 
 
G            Am       C      D 
But I'm old enough to know  
G           Am       C      D 
I'm holding on for something 
G        Am       C      D 
I'm old enough to see  
G           Am    C      D 
I'm not the only one 
 
G  
 
                     G 
When you get back to town 
              A7                     Am 
Back from the islands, back to where I live 
C         D              G 
 Well, we need to have a word 
           A7                     Am 
A topic to touch on, the topic is touchy 
C     D            G 
 Yeah this is pitiful 
               A7                 Am 
The lack of reception, you never listen 
C        D               G 
 I don't need another round 
            A7                    Am       C    D 
Nothing is perfect but this isn't worth it 
 
G            Am       C      D 
But I'm old enough to know  
G           Am       C      D 
I'm holding on for something 
G        Am       C      D 
I'm old enough to see  
G           Am    C      D 
I'm not the only one 
 
G 
 
Em                  Am  D                       G   G/F# 
 Yeah I smashed it apart and the rains wouldn't stop 
Em                  Am  D                 G    
'Til everybody was gone, moving on to the next one 
 
G - A7 - Am - C - D (2x) 
 
G            Am       C      D 
But I'm old enough to know  
G           Am       C      D 
I'm holding on for something 
G        Am       C      D 
I'm old enough to see  
G           Am    C      D 
I'm not the only one 
 
G            Am       C      D 
But I'm old enough to know  
G           Am       C      D 
I'm holding on for something 
G        Am       C      D 
I'm old enough to see  
G           Am    C      D 
I'm not the only one 
 
G
