Intro: ABmDA (2X)
A
25 years of my life and still,

For whatever that means.

And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed
Bm
Just to get it all out, what's in my head, then I,
DA
I am feeling, a little peculiar.

And so I wake in the morning, and I step outside

And I take a deep breath, and I get real high, and I,

Scream from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?"
