 Well I can’t think  of better ways  to spend my time
 Than living  in this life of rhyme
 
 Surrounded by my future friends, for the best days of my life
  And it’s hardly  growing up I know, but it makes  me feel alright
 If I had  a point I don’t  know what it was.
 Some days I stand on stage  for little reason  but because
 And though I've wasted days,  you know I won’t  take back these nights
 I will not let go,  I will live  my life
 And if I haven’t  done so well,  it’s living  in this concrete hell
 
 Where you all love the one show, and we’re all in bed by 12
 And I cannot  call this place my home, till I’ve no  more tales to tell.
 So for now  I’m just content  to spend my time
 Putting pen to paper  in the hope  of grand design
 And though I’ve wasted days,  you know I won’t  take back these nights
 I will not let go,  I will live  my life
, , , , ,  x2
 And I finally  recognised  , the other night
 That we’re  no longer twenty five
 The fame  never came knocking
 
 And perhaps it never might
 But we’re too  far gone to quit this now, to just go  without a fight
 If I had  a point I don’t  know what it was.
 Some days I stand on stage  for little reason  but because
 And though I’ve wasted days,  you know I won’t  take back these nights
 I will not let go,  I will live  my life
 If I had  a point I don’t  know what it was.
 Some days I stand on stage  for little reason  but because
 When the day  arrives I must bid  you all good night
 I will not let go,  I will live  my life

Well I can’t t[Am]hink of better wa[C]ys to spend my t[G]ime
Than l[Am]iving in this life of rh[Em7]yme
  [Am]               [C]                      [G]    [G/f#]       [Em7]
Surrounded by my future friends, for the best days of my life
 And it’s har[C]dly growing up I know, but it ma[C]kes me feel alright

If I h[C]ad a point I do[Am]n’t know what it w[G]as.
Some days I stand on st[C]age for little r[Am]eason but be[Em7]cause
And though I've wasted d[Am]ays, you know I wo[C]n’t take back these n[G]ights
I will not let [Am]go, I will l[C]ive my l[G]ife

[Am]          And if I ha[C]ven’t done so w[G]ell, it’s li[Am]ving in this concrete [Em7]hell
       [Am]               [C]                   [G]    [G/f#]   [Em7]
Where you all love the one show, and we’re all in bed by 12
And I c[C]annot call this place my home, till I’ve [C]no more tales to tell.

So for n[C]ow I’m just co[Am]ntent to spend my t[G]ime
Putting pen to pa[C]per in the h[Am]ope of grand d[Em7]esign
And though I’ve wasted d[Am]ays, you know I w[C]on’t take back these nig[G]hts
I will not let [Am]go, I will li[C]ve my l[G]ife

[G], [Em7], [G/f#], [Em7], [C], [G] x2

And I fin[Am]ally reco[C]gnised , the other [G]night
That w[Am]e’re no longer twenty f[Em7]ive
The f[Am]ame never came kno[C]cking
         [G]      [G/f#]   [Em7]
And perhaps it never might
But we’re to[C]o far gone to quit this now, to just [C]go without a fight

If I ha[C]d a point I don[Am]’t know what it wa[G]s.
Some days I stand on st[C]age for little r[Am]eason but be[Em7]cause
And though I’ve wasted d[Am]ays, you know I wo[C]n’t take back these n[G]ights
I will not let [Am]go, I will l[C]ive my l[G]ife

If I h[C]ad a point I do[Am]n’t know what it w[G]as.
Some days I stand on st[C]age for little r[Am]eason but be[Em7]cause

When the d[Am]ay arrives I must b[C]id you all good n[G]ight
I will not let g[Am]o, I will l[C]ive my l[G]ife
