Verse 1
D           A         Em           Bm            Em   
  So here I am, doing everything I can.  Holding on to what I 
F#m            G          A*
am, pretending I'm a superman.
D               A     Em                  Bm
  I'm trying to keep     the ground on my feet.  
   Em                F#m           G        A*
It seems the world's falling down around me.
D                     A     Em                  Bm
   The nights are all long,    I'm singing this song
   Em               F#m               G      A*
to try and make the answers more than maybe.

Interlude 
        G5 D5  A5           G5   E5 D5      G5  
And I'm so con-fused, about what to do, sometimes I wanna 
A5            D5
throw it all away.

Chorus
D         A           Em            Bm            Em
So here I am, looking older all the time. Growing older 
        F#m           G             A
all the time, feeling younger in my mind.
D           A         Em           Bm            Em   
  So here I am, doing everything I can.  Holding on to what I 
F#m            G          A*
am, pretending I'm a superman.

Verse 2
D                A      Em                 Bm
   I'm trying to sleep.    I lost count of sheep.
   Em             F#m          G       A* 
My mind is racing faster every minute.
D    A     Em       Bm
   What could I do more? Yeah I'm really not sure. 
  Em               F#m           GA*
I know I'm running circles but I can't quit.

Interlude 

Bridge
Am                        Bm                 
Controlling everything in sight, I'm feeling weak I don't
     Em                                 Am             Bm 
feel right. You're telling me I have to change, telling me
          Em                         Am         Bm
to act my age. But if all that I can do is just sit and
           Em                                Am 
watch time go, then I'll have to say goodbye. Life's too 
Bm                Em               F         G
short to watch it fly, so watch it flyyyyyyyyyy.
