Well, It doesn't really matter if you lead or follow

Everybody's laughing like there's no tomorrow

And even if there was, would you still go following your friends?

The most pain you will ever feel

C                       G                          Fm

Verse

Stop!

C                                 G
"Look and you will see" is what I think she said to me

Dm                     Fm
I'm not too sure because it could have easily 

C                       G
Been a million things but I don't know what she said

Fm
I still don't know what she said

C                       G                 Dm            Fm
It's been years since I've seen her face, 14 years were just erased

C           G              Fm
If my life was your life, would you ever take it back?

Pre-Chorus

C                    G
And now I'm off to save the world once again

Dm                      Fm
But I don't know how I'll pull it off this time

C          G             Fm
I think I'm going to drown

C                      G

I just know I'm going to drown
