The Downtown Fiction - Where Dreams Go To Die 

Intro: G D C

G                             D    Your breath hangs in the air.
                                   EmIt's freezing, but the bus ain't there.
                     CYou're wishing for someone to stop this.
G                    D     Back in class again,
                            EmYou feel just like an empty pen,
                     CLoss for words and void of purpose.

       G                      D            CThey cornered you, there's nowhere to get out.
How? How?

        Em              CThey'll try to convince you
     G                     Dand tell you that they're right.
          Em           CThey'll break you and beat you
       G             Dand steal away your life
     Em                     C                 G             DAnd tell you that you're nothing and they'll never get it right,
     Em                             D               But high school's the place where dreams go to die.

G                         D   Teacher thinks you're rude
                          Em                       Says, "I dont like your attitude".
                         CWell maybe you're just condescending
G                               D     But bring us up to follow rules
                            EmAnd throw us all in cubic rooms
                     CBut we're not gonna sit by idle.

        G                 D              CWe're getting out, we're gonna find our way
Hey, hey.

Chorus
       G                           DWell, we'll be more than they'll ever be
 Em                     C     Just bitter from their own failed dreams.
          G   D                        Em        CThey're desperate, and do anything to bring you down.
        G                       DWell, we'll do more than they ever did
Em                  CTalk down to some poor old kid.
   G          D                C               We are the ones, the ones who made it.

        Em              CThey'll try to convince you
     G                     Dand tell you that they're right.
          Em           CThey'll break you and beat you
       G             Dand steal away your life
     Em                     C                 G             DAnd tell you that you're nothing and they'll never get it right,
     Em                              DBut high school's the place where dreams,
     Em                               DBut high school's the place where dreams,
     Em                               D         G   D   CBut high school's the place where dreams go to die.
