Intro:
Bb-F-Gm-Eb-Bb-F-Eb(hold)
Verse 1:
They say elders gain
the wisdom of years
As time goes by I fear
growing up and feeling
like the best years are done
Spend life waiting for
things that never come and
Chorus 1:
Hope When living through
the memories of youth
Hope When repetition
guides you
Hope When wondering how
you wound up this way
I hope the wisdom's
worth the wait
Post Chorus: Bb-F-Gm-Eb-Bb-F-Eb--
Verse 2:
Life's mold gradually
enfolds you
Uniqueness given up to
be accepted by your peers
Come in from your 9 to 5
Hang your coat and tie
High School yearbook's
still on the nightstand
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Interlude: Bb-F-Gm-Dm-Eb-Bb-F--
Bridge:
Salutations and
"How's your day been?"
routine superficial
conversations
They've Gotten too deep
but somehow you keep
working to afford another
day you'll live to hate
Chorus 2:
Hope When living through
the memories of youth
Hope When repetition
guides you
Hope When wondering how
you wound up this way
I hope I never fall in line
I've seen it one too many times
I hope the wisdom's
Bb(hold)
worth the wait
