The tricky thing 
                         D 
Is yesterday we were just, children 
                          Em 
Playing soldiers just pre-tending 
                          C 
Dreaming dreams with happy endings  
G 
In backyards, 
                        D 
Winning battles with the, wooden swords 
                            Em 
But now we've stepped into a, cruel world 
                          C 
Where everybody stands and, keeps score

Keep your eyes open

So here you are 
                           D 
Two steps ahead and staying, on guard 
                    Em 
Every lesson forms a, new scar 
                                C 
They never thought you'd make it, this far 
G 
 But turn around 
                            D 
Oh, they surrounded you, it's, a showdown 
                    Em 
And nobody comes to save you now 
                                C 
But you got something they don't 
  
Yeah, you got something they don't 
                    D 
You just gotta keep your eyes open
