Capo 3

G
Young man full of pride don't need much hope 
Cadd9                                G
Thinks he's got it made even when he don't 
Bm                   C        Bm                     C
Thinks that all he's got to do is order up a beer or two 
C                                      D
And make work what everybody tells him won't


He don't care what all those people say 
He's got to bend the world his own way 
He's got dreams, he's got no doubts, you're either in or you're out
It's better to burn than it is too fade 


Chorus:
Cadd9                D
You want to feel the wind 
G             G/F#   Em
You've got to take a ride 
Cadd9            D
You better dream big 
Bm                       Cadd9
If you want to touch the sky 
Cadd9        D                 Em
You can't be scared to risk it all 
                       Cadd9 
No, you're never gonna fly 
D                   G
If you're afraid to fall 


Old man don't waste time with regret 
He's made mistakes along the way and yet
He smiles as he's looking back 
He says, 'I'd do it all again, in fact, 
You learn something new with every single scar you get' 

Chorus:


Bridge:
Cadd9        D              Bm                Cadd9
I guess it's true that time really does slip away 
Cadd9                      D
You only lose with chances you don't take 


Chorus
