C
Are the successes we're seeking results of our reading
And are the lifestyles we project our breeding

This reward is down an avenue when you were born

And I don't want to be alone
D G
But you're not like I thought you would be

When you're hearing me, alone you'll always be
A D G
It never goes the way you suppose, we will always be alone
Gm F C
Until we learn that to be only one is a shock in itself
F G
You need somebody so you look to me for help
C Fm
But we never can be what you want us to be

Until pop idealism fades

And pop idols go away

I wish I were a financier, a legal aid counselor
A franchising businessman franchising millions

Get out of your bed and stand by the window

Do you get the point? I want to tell you but it's hard somehow
[Refrão]
