Living on the outside/Trying to get with the in-crowd.
E A D C B/C A
That's when I was told/The way to fit in. They said,
"It's not who you are/It's the way you dress."
I thought such a small change/And I could still be myself.
<Break1>
B
But when I looked into that mirror,
D
I saw someone else.
<V2>
My life drops into overdrive/Old friends are left behind.
From a distance I hear them saying/That I was too high.
Everyday was a constant fight/For a bigger slice of the pie.
But no matter how high I climb/Nothing filled me up inside.
<Break2>
When I got everything I wanted,
It was nothing that I needed.
<Chorus>
A D
Gain the world but I was lost inside,
E F#m
Temporary I was satisfied.
Hazy days they seem to be,
But something kept reminding me.
Gain the world but I was lost inside,
Temporary I was pacified.
There's more to life than what you see,
These words keep calling out to me.
<V3>
My life became a roll-coaster ride/Mixed emotions fill my mind.
My days were filled with fast friends/And Johnny Walker's Red.
I thought that I could hold together/But it spun out of control.
From the distance I could hear/Those voices calling me.
<Break3>
You fought so hard to get where you are,
It's best to leave it all behind.
<Chorus>
Yeah <Temporary satisfied>
Yeah <Temporary pacified>
Yeah <Na Na>
Yeah
