Am C D Am C D
My eyes can't believe what they have seen.
Am C D Am C D
In the corner of your room you've stockpiled millions of my memories.
Am C D Am C D
Oh Doctor, Doctor, I must have gotten this sick somehow.
Am
I'm going to ask you a series of questions,
C D Am C D
And I want them answered on the spot, right now.
Am F
Is it serious?
C D
I'm afraid it is.
Am F
Am I gonna die?
C D Am F C D
Well son, death is gonna catch up to all one day,
Am F C D
But yours is coming quicker than ours, than ours.
G
Some things I may have taken for granted again and again,
well here's what was said then
Am C F
Hold your head high heavy heart.
G
So take a chance and make it big,
Am
Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
C
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
G G
I make plans to break plans,
C
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big, planning.
[same as intro rhythm]
Am C D Am
I’ve never tried to make the best of my time,
C D
When I thought that I had plenty of it.

C D
I don’t know what to think.
Am F
Is it all a lie?
C D
Well one thing is for sure
Am F C D
I'm taken back to the glory days when
Am F C D
When we were kids without a brash or bitter thing to say.
G
Now my life is one big make it, or break it.
Am C
Hold your head high heavy heart
F
Save your strength for the morning after.
G
So take a chance and make it big,
Am
Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
C
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
G Am
I make plans to break plans,
C
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big, planning.
