Intro: [G] [D/F#] [Em]
[C] [D] [G]
I [G]got the news I [D/F#]grew up overn[Em]ight
And I [C]owe it to my [D]folks to go and [G]do this whole thing right
So I [G]headed off to the [D/F#]university
And [C]hit the books so [D]hard that my [G]hands began to bleed
I got a [G]BA in [D/F#]BS and a [Em]PhD
In [C]finding brand new [D/F#]ways to ask my [G]father for money
This [G]basement's getting [D/F#]smaller everyd[Em]ay
I need a [C]job, a life, a [D]wife and someday [G]someplace else to stay
And I [Em]know I [D]should
Give this [C]up for [G]good[D/F#]
But w[Em]hat good is a [D]dream
If you [C]keep it in your s[G]leep[D/F#]
Scream it [Em]loud and c[D]lear
So that [C]everyone can [G]hear[D/F#]
It's [D]who you are, yeah, you're a star
And no amount of doubt will burn you out today
[G] [D/F#] [Em]
[C] [D] [G]
[G] [D/F#] [Em]
[C] [D] [G]
Don't wanna [G]trade in my c[D/F#]hucks for a tie and s[Em]uit
Don't wanna t[C]rade in these [D]days for a [G]memory of my youth
[G]I'm still young, but these[D/F#] things weren't built to [Em]last
The [C]limit is the [D]sky, but this [G]plane was built to crash
And I [Em]know I [D]should
Give this [C]up for [G]good[D/F#]
But w[Em]hat good is a [D]dream
If you [C]keep it in your s[G]leep[D/F#]
Scream it [Em]loud and c[D]lear
So that [C]everyone can [G]hear[D/F#]
It's [D]who you are, yeah, you're a star
And no amount of doubt will burn you out today
[G] [D/F#] [Em]
[C] [D] [G]
[G] [D/F#] [Em]
[C] [D] [G]
[G]To you this all may [D/F#]seem like a waste of [Em]time
Just [C]heart transplants to [D]notebook paper [G]lines
But when it's [G]all over and we're [D/F#]both asked "What did you d[Em]o?"
Which o[C]ne of us can s[D]ay we did j[G]ust what we wanted to?
And I [Em]know I [D]should
Give this [C]up for [G]good[D/F#]
But w[Em]hat good is a [D]dream
If you [C]keep it in your s[G]leep[D/F#]
Scream it [Em]loud and c[D]lear
So that [C]everyone can [G]hear[D/F#]
