wow how original beth, a song about wanting to leave your hometown. how pop punk.

chords:
capo 3
verse - d, a, g
chorus - bm, g, d, a

lyrics:
i think i’m stuck in a rut
when does my life begin
it’s like a kick in the gut
i’m tired of all this waiting waiting
they say that i’m too young
to really know what i want
and i know i’m not sure
but this isn’t want i though

still live at home
and i’m still alone
and there’s been no change
don’t tell me this is how it stays

when i looked to the future i dreamed of adventure
but i’m still stuck in this town
whenever i looked forward i always aimed skywards
now things keep going down
they say “these are the best years of your life”
i say i wanna run away and cry
when i looked to the future i dreamed of adventure
but now the future doesn’t look so bright

they say 18 is too young
to become so cynical
but anyone who knows me well
see this behaviour as typical
they’ll say ‘that girl is never happy unless she’s had some wine”
or “she acts like she’s unhappy but secretly she’s fine”
so i'll take off this mask
if you have to ask

still live at home
and i’m still alone
and there’s been no change
don’t tell me this is how it stays

when i looked to the future i dreamed of adventure
but i’m still stuck in this town
whenever i looked forward i always aimed skywards
now things keep going down
they say “these are the best years of your life”
i say i wanna run away and cry
when i looked to the future i dreamed of adventure
but now the future doesn’t look so bright

when i looked to the future i dreamed of adventure
but i’m still stuck in this town
whenever i looked forward i always aimed skywards
now things keep going down
they say “these are the best years of your life”
i say i wanna run away and cry
when i looked to the future i dreamed of adventure
that doesn't seem right
