[Verse 1]
D
Where is he going?
A
What has he done?
D                   A
What's to become of him
D
I wrote a speech to my dad
A
Twenty-one pages long
D                                       A
He twisted my jokes and swallowed their meanings

[Chorus]
C#m                  F#m
I lay awake counting one, two and three,
       D             A     A7
It's alright, it's alright
C#m
I fell asleep
         F#m
Counting eight, ten and four
     D    E
it's okay

[Verse 2]
D
A twelve year old math wiz
A
Came to me in my sleep
D
He knew all the answers
A
Which he kept to himself
D
He said I'd hate to be you
A
When the big day comes
D
The look on your face
A
Will be priceless

[Chorus]
C#m                  F#m
I lay awake counting one, two and three,
       D             A     A7
It's alright, it's alright
C#m
I fell asleep
         F#m
Counting eight, ten and four
     D    E
it's okay

[Outro]
