[Verse]

Dm             Bb                    F               C
Next year will bring something that she could never give to me.
Dm               Bb                       F               C
I’ll be watching all my dreams, they are coming true in front of me.
      Dm
Let’s go!
          Bb                 F                        C
Spin it around again, yea, around the bend, yea, we found something.
Dm         Bb      F                           C
Two Years Ago! We started something, now we’ll be something.
   Dm
I need this now more than I ever did you.
            F
Hear those songs off your mix tape?
                                    C                                   Bb
Yea, they sit in your room, beautifully lit macabre, they’re just like you.
     C              Bb                         C            Bb
The perfect song to get destroyed to, and it’s oh so strong.

[Chorus]

F                                                   C
He woke up from sleeping with the girl of his dreams
                             Dm                C          Bb
to find he was empty and in need, of something more than this.
F                                C
And in the wake of dreaming that he found he was just a spark in the world
                     Dm                    C       Bb
but bright enough to be that light of inspiration.
                                   F
He sings his songs, he sings his songs.

[Verse]

F
The possibilities that all of you have given me,
   Dm
cuz, to kids like us you know our dreams, they are our everything.
F
Doing eighty on the ten, I’ve never felt so alive.
Dm                                           Bb     C
Finally understanding “the rapture of being alive.”

[Chorus]

F                                                   C
He woke up from sleeping with the girl of his dreams
                             Dm                C          Bb
to find he was empty and in need, of something more than this.
F                                C
And in the wake of dreaming that he found he was just a spark in the world
                     Dm                    C       Bb
but bright enough to be that light of inspiration.
                                   C    G   C   G
He sings his songs, he sings his songs.

[Bridge]

C                   G                            C
The kids you threw away have found the American ways.
                    G                            C
The kids you threw away have found the American ways.
                    G                            C
The kids you threw away have found the American ways.
                    G                         C   G
The kids you threw away are now the American way.
   C G
The Way!!

[Outro]

G                                    D
This year will bring something that she could never give to me.
Em                 D                       C                      Bb  C  F
We’ll be watching all my dreams, they are coming true in front of me.
