F#
Oh, I'm no explorer
D#m
My visions not great
B C#
I get tired when I run for too long
F#
I still wake up groggy
D#
And go to bed late
B C#
And I guess it's been true all along
 
F#
That of all the worlds secrets
F#/G#
Both this world and yours
F#/Bb
From the depths of the sea
F#/B
To the eagle who soars
F#/D# F#/C#
Far beyond all the crap
F#/B F#/Bb F#/G# F#/B
That us little guys face each da__________y
 
F# F#/F
Past monsters and prophecies
F#/D# F#/C#
Shouldn't's and should's
F#/B F#/Bb F#/A
Past mayors and nights getting lost in the woods

I know it's not much
F#/D# F#/C# E B
I'm too young to unearth how it go______es
 
F# G#m
But whether the sun burns our skin
F# G#m
Or a westward breeze blo_____ws

Of all the worlds secrets and mysteries

From here to the tiniest star

The greatest one

Is the simplest one by far

To kiss a girl

And hold her hand
D#m F# B7M
No monster in the land can understand when
D#m F#
You kiss a girl
B7M
And just like that
D#m F# B7M
The stars you're staring at start to disband
D7M
Then, they form a path
F#/C#
And if you follow them blindly
B B
That's where you'll find she's gone
D#m F#
So kiss the girl
B
And hold her hand
D#m B
And travel on
 
D#m F#
Sometimes I think
B
When days grow lame
D#m F#
And each night ends the same
B
In this ghost town
D#m F#
Men, feel far too weak
B
To make it through
D#m F# B
But boy there's work to do so hunker down
D7M
Then, we'll form a pact
F#/C#
And with bravado and soul
B B
Ease up on the holy snare
F# F#/G#
She's just a girl
F#/Bb F#/B D#m F# B
And you've a hand to ta___ke her there

Cowards by the dozens
G#m
Fly in spirals and they're fast

Running like they're cowards

From the future toward the past

Never have I ever

Seen such cowards stand to last

But who cares?

Who really cares?
