| [D] ... First thing we'd | climb a tree |
| [D] ... and maybe | then we'd talk |
| [D] ... or sit si- | lently   |
| [D] ... and listen | to our thoughts |

| [C] ... Illusions of | someday   |
| [D] ... casting a | golden light |
| [C] ... no dress re- | hearsal |
| [D] ... this is | our life |

Riff - Play 2x

Pre-Chorus
| [D] And that's where the | hornet stung me |
| [C] ... and | I had a feverish   |
| [D] dream...   | with revenge and   |
| [C] doubt ... to- | night we smoke them |
| [D] ou-ou-ou-out | [D] |

Chorus
| [A] ... You are a- | head by a century |
| [G] ... You are a- | head by a century |

| [D] ... Stare in the | morning shroud |
| [D] ... and then the | day began |
| [D] ... I til- | ted your cloud
| [D] ... you til- | ted my hand |

| [C] ... Rain falls in | real time |
| [D] ... and rain fell | through the night |
| [C] ... no dress re- | hearsal |
| [D] ... this is | our life |
