Young man full of pride don't need much hope

Thinks he's got it made even when he don't
Bm C Bm C
Thinks that all he's got to do is order up a beer or two
C D
And make work what everybody tells him won't
He don't care what all those people say
He's got to bend the world his own way
He's got dreams, he's got no doubts, you're either in or you're out
It's better to burn than it is too fade
[Refrão]Cadd9 D
You want to feel the wind
G G/F# Em
You've got to take a ride
Cadd9 D
You better dream big

If you want to touch the sky
Cadd9 D Em
You can't be scared to risk it all
Cadd9
No, you're never gonna fly
D G
If you're afraid to fall
Old man don't waste time with regret
He's made mistakes along the way and yet
He smiles as he's looking back
He says, 'I'd do it all again, in fact,
You learn something new with every single scar you get'
Chorus:
Bridge:
Cadd9 D Bm Cadd9

Cadd9 D
You only lose with chances you don't take
