*Capo 2
G C
I'd build a ladder to the moon
G C
And there i'd carve your name
G C
If it would brighten up this room
G C
But u know that anyway
G C
I can't be the rock
G C
Not today
G C
Sometimes i wanna pop
G C
Sometimes i wanna say
[Refrão]D C
I'd like to breakdown
D C
But i can't find the time
D C Bm Em
They're all lookin' to me, to keep it in line
C
1. I hope i can keep it in line
2. I'm gonna keep it in line
3. I'm gonna keep it in line, just like every single time
G C
Sometimes i slow it down
G C
To hear what i haven't heard
G C
When darkness rolls around
G C
I scream at the world
G C
His picture's on my wall
G C
He looks about my age
G C
I wonder if he ever broke at all
G C
I wonder if he ever had to say
[Refrão]G C
It's gonna work itself out
G C
It always does
G C
At the last drop of doubt
G C
Just like it never was
