[Verse 1]
C C C CI have friends who have jobs they wear suits to
F CI have friends who have 401k’s
F FI have friends who want kids
C C G AmAnd they’re naming their babies their spouses’ late grandparents’ names
C C CI know some kids who never left Newtown
F F CDoing the same things they did back in high school
F C G C AmIt’s ironic to me that they probably see my mom more than I get a chance to
[Chorus]
F G C F G CI took one hard look in the mirror and I didn’t know what I wanted to see
F C F CBut there was a man standing there with my eyes and my hair
F G CHe was pointing and laughing at mе
C F CAnd he said, get your act togethеr, kid!
G AmScrew your head on straight
F F C CYou know it can be wise to try taking your time
F G CJust don’t expect no one to wait
[Verse 2]
C C C CThere’s some kids that I know who are junkies
F CThere’s some more who are sitting in jail
F F CAnd yeah there’s a few who went to heaven too soon
C G AmThere’s a couple who tried but they failed
C C CIn the back of my mind I heard something
F F CA voice, that I soon recognized as my own
F F CIt said “those who throw stones shouldn’t live in glass homes
G AmOr at least that’s what we’ve all been told”
[Chorus]
F G C F G CI took one hard look in the mirror but I was confused by what I was seeing
F C F CCuz there was a boy and a bear with the beast unaware
F G CThat the boy was too damn scared to breathe
CSo I said
F CGet your act together, kid
G AmScrew your head on straight
F C G CAnd should you decide to try saving your hide
F G CWell, you’d best set your mind to escape
[Instrumental]
C C C C C C
[Bridge]
C C CMy best childhood friend’s getting married
F CThe other is getting his Harvard degree
F F C CI bet I cross their minds every once in a while
C G AmI wonder what they think of me
[Chorus]
F F C F G CI took one hard look in the mirror and I didn’t know what I wanted to see
F G CBut there was nobody there and the longer I stared
F G CWell, the more I began to believe
C F CI gotta get my act together, man
G AmI gotta screw my head on straight
C G COr maybe I’ll be just fine in the long run if I
F G CLet it all be decided by fate
