C#
    In my short time I've realized
C#
That there is so much more to life
C#
Than getting older, and getting mine
F#
This is my ready, set, let go attempt
F#
At finding who I am
            C#
And I'll be brief
          C#
So listen closely...


[Verse 1]

             F#
I've learned not to talk through movies
             F#
When I still don't know the lines
                 C#
I've learned who not to ask advice from
       C#
When I can't make up my mind
               F#
When times get tough I've learned
                      F#
That breathing is the best thing I can do
                 C#
And I've learned letting go of friends
             C#
Is something I won't get used to
               F#
I've learned a fair amount about the world
   F#
Of women and of love
                  C#
I've learned that money doesn't always mean
C#
Deserving one or both of the above...


[Pre-Chorus]

                  F#
I've learned it's hard to be alone when you're alive
            C#
But somehow I have learned that we won't be alone
            C#
When we all reach the other side...
F#              Bbm              Fm                 G#               Fm
Something in my heart is telling me I've learned to love who I've become
G#        D#m
I know my learning isn't done

[Chorus]

    F#    Bbm    G#           D#m                F#    Bbm
But oh,            I'm afraid I will never quite under-stand...
    G#                 F#    Bbm
The way I wish I could know
G#          D#m               F#      Bbm
Every-thing I would ever need just in case
  G#   D#m        Fm  C#
I ever lose my way


[Verse 2]

             F#
I've learned not to lie to people
            F#
Who know me better than my words
         C#
And I believe I've learned to filter out
    C#
The voices in my head (But I'm still not sure)...
             F#
I've learned failure's not an option
     F#
It's frowned upon and rude...
C#
And giving up before the bell
             C#
Is something I've learned not to do


[Pre-Chorus 2]

             F#
I've learned how to keep my head
          F#
Above the water line in desperate times
             C#
I've learned to swim when someone lonely
        C#
Ties an anchor to my leg in spite...
                F#
I've learned to fight
    F#
The difference between wrong and right
    F#
and how to sleep at night...
           C#
You know I still don't have that cartridge
        Bbm          D#m                  F#
But I'm learning how to live in black and white


[Chorus]

    F#    Bbm    G#           D#m                F#
But oh,            I'm afraid I will never quite understand
    Bbm   G#           F#    Bbm
The way I wish I could know
G#         D#m     F#        Bbm     G#
Everything I would ever need just in case
  D#m          C#
I ever lose my way

[Outro]

F#  C#                     Fm          F#
    Golden We are golden because we're alive
                   G#          Bbm
We are nothing without our goodbyes
                   G#          F#
Illuminate our own way from inside
F#
We shine so bright, we shine so...


C#                      Fm          F#
Golden, We are golden because we're alive
                   G#          Bbm
We are nothing without our goodbyes
                   G#          F#
Illuminate our own way from inside
F#
We shine so bright, we shine so...


C#                      Fm          F#
Golden, We are golden because we're alive
                   G#          Bbm
We are nothing without our goodbyes
                   G#          F#
Illuminate our own way from inside
F#
We shine so bright, we shine so...


C#                      Fm          F#
Golden, We are golden because we're alive
                   G#          Bbm
We are nothing without our goodbyes
                   G#          F#
Illuminate our own way from inside
