Intro:
DmCFBbVerse 1:
DmC
She’s all alone even when she’s surrounded
FBbDm
Rolling stone you can’t keep her grounded
CFBb
She’s flying high; candy coated dreams under pink skies.
DmC
She said, "I just wanna be beautiful,
FBb
And when the money starts raining like a waterfall
DmC
All my problems will disappear right?”
F
But deep down they're stout, now she's singing out
Pre-Chorus:
DmC
Got my heart broken once or twice
FBb
So I won’t give it up without a fight
DmCFBb
I want the truth but I told some lies
DmC
When I live, we're atop, but I’m so cold
FBb
Where I’ll end up only God knows
DmCF
And I’m still figuring it out, out, out
Chorus:
DmCF
But it’s just our generation,
BbDmCF
Want it all but got no patience,
BbDmCF
Wanna know that time is ticking,
BbDm
One day we’ll be amazing,
CF
But we’re so sick of waiting
BbDmCFBb
And it’s just our generation
DmCFBb
Dadadaa, dadaa, daadadahh,
Verse 2:
DmC
He’s too afraid to settle down and get older
FBb
Couldn’t afford to make his fast life slower
DmCFBb
So.. he runs away from every good girl, just play the game
DmC
Too worried about what other people think
FBb
Every little thing, take another drink
DmCBb
Let it sink in, pretend, fake friends, loose ends, now he's singin’
Pre-Chorus:
DmC
Got my heart broken once or twice
FBb
So I won’t give it up without a fight
DmCFBb
I want the truth but I told some lies
DmC
Where I’ll end up who really knows
FBb
Just kiss me once before I go
DmCF
I’m a mess, still figuring it out, out, out
Chorus:
DmCF
But it’s just our generation,
BbDmCF
Want it all but got no patience,
BbDmCF
Wanna know that time is ticking,
BbDm
One day we’ll be amazing,
CF
But we’re so sick of waiting
BbDmCFBb
And it’s just our generation da, da dahh
DmCFBb
Dadadaa, dadaa, daadadahh,
DmCFBb
And it’s just our generation da, da dahh
DmCFBb
Dadadaa, dadaa, ohh, yeahh
Bridge:
DmC
Chasing a million things, a million dreams
FBb
Gotta look crazy, young, wild, and free
DmC
At least that’s what they told me on tv
Bb
Blind to reality,
DmC
There’s gotta be something missing
FBb
More than just a real good feeling
DmCBb
Life’s too short to have no meaning
Bb
Too bad there’s no time for blinking
Chorus:
DmCF
But it’s just our generation,
BbDmCF
Want it all but got no patience,
BbDmCF
Wanna know that time is ticking,
BbDm
One day we’ll be amazing,
CF
But we’re so sick of waiting
BbDmCFBb
And it’s just our generation
BbDm
One day we’ll be amazing,
CF
But i'm so sick of waiting
BbDmCFBb
Guess it’s just our generation
