G   F   Em
G   F   Em
G   F   Em   C


[Verse 1]
C
Long in tooth
G
Olives and vermouth
  Em                 Am
I dine like an aging pilot 
C
Where are they now
G 
The money and the crowd
       Am           G    F
Must I really come back down


[Pre-Chorus]
C            F
It's like I never was a kid
G   F                          C
The big math just wasted youth on me
C         F      
Making impressions like I did
     F                               C
Your friends never thought that much of me


[Chorus]
C                  G
And now I want to fold
                C
Into something else
            G
An origami plane
              C
To a distant island 
                    F            C
And I don't want to show you my feelings
                F            G
I don't want to force you to deal
                F                 C
I just want to crash through the ceiling
                    G   F  G  F  C
Before it gets too real


[Verse 2]
C
All my life 
G             Em            Am
Compromise on wings of resignation
C              G 
Big grey eyes staring from the sky
     Am        G    F
Am I humble enough now?


[Pre-Chorus]
C           F
I've always had something to hide
G   F                      C
My skinny arms, my evil intentions
C                               F         G
And back at school hitting the fire alarms
F                      C
Desperately wanting attention


[Chorus]
C                 G
Well I was just a boy
                 C
Out there on my own
                 G
Wishing I could fly
         C
Fantasy island
                    F            C
And I don't want to show you my feelings
                F            G
I don't want to bore you to death
                F                 C
I just want to crash through the ceiling
               G    F  G  F  C
Get it off my chest


[Break]
C   G   Em   Am
C   G   Am   F   


[Pre-Chorus]
C            F
It's like I never was a kid
G   F                          C
The big math just wasted youth on me
C         F
Making impressions like I did
     F                               C
Your friends never thought that much of me


[Chorus]
C                 G
Well I was just a boy
                 C
Out there on my own
                 G
Wishing I could fly
         C
Fantasy island
                    F            C
And I don't want to show you my feelings
                F            G
I don't want to force you to deal
                F                 C
I just want to crash through the ceiling
                    G     F 
Before it gets too real
G                         F
Before it gets too real
G                         F
Before it gets too real 
G     F   
Real
