 ~Into~
 
 ~Verse 1~
"welcome  to the real world"
she  said to me condescendingly
"take  a seat, take your life
 plot it out in black and white"
well  I never lived the dreams of the prom  kings
 and the drama queens
 I'd like to think the best  of me
 is still hiding up  my sleeve
 ~Pre-Chrous~
 they love to tell  you  "stay  in-side  the  lines"
but  something's better on  the other side
 ~Chorus~
 I want to run  through the halls of my high  school
 I want to scream at  the top of my lungs
 I just found out there's  no such thing as the real  world
 just a lie  you've got to rise above
 ~Verse 2~
 so the good boys and girls take the so-called right track
 faded white hats grabbing credits, maybe transfers
 they read all the books but they can't find the answers
 all of our parents, they're getting older
 I wonder if they've wished for anything better
 while in their memories, tiny tragedies
 ~Pre-Chorus~
 they love to tell you "stay inside the lines"
 but something's better on the other side
 ~Chorus~
 I want to run through the halls of my high school
 I want to scream at the top of my lungs
 I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
 just a lie you've got to rise above
 ~Bridge~
 I am invincible
 I am invincible
I  am invincible
as  long as I'm alive
 ~Interlude~
 ~Chorus~
 I want to run through the halls of my high school
 I want to scream at the top of my lungs
 I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
 just a lie you've got to rise above
 I just can't wait  for my ten year reunion
 I'm gonna bust  down the double doors
 and when I stand  on these tables before  you
 you will know  what all this time was  for

[Emaj9]well I never lived the dreams of the [Amaj9]prom kings

I'd like to think the be[C#7sus4]st of me

is still hiding [F#7]up my sleeve

~Pre-Chrous~

~Chorus~
[N.C.]        I want to [Am9]run through the halls of my [Emaj9]high school

I want to scream [Am9]at the top of my [Emaj9]lungs

I just found out [Am9]there's no such thing as the [Emaj9]real world

just a [Am9]lie you've got to rise [Emaj9]above

~Verse 2~
so the good boys and girls take the so-called right track

faded white hats grabbing credits, maybe transfers

they read all the books but they can't find the answers

all of our parents, they're getting older

I wonder if they've wished for anything better

while in their memories, tiny tragedies

~Pre-Chorus~
