E D C D E When I rock I rock and when I dance I dance and when I talk I talk I never miss a chance cuz life is too short (2) That’s what I used to say I don’t think I ever lived that way I’m sorry I lied to you I never knew that I could live any better way So you must forgive me cuz I used to say "When I rock I rock And when I dance I dance And when I talk I talk I never miss a chance but now it is too late" See the thing is I was lying I kept lamenting things I never tried And now I’ve wasted so much time I spent so many years trying to run from all the things I needed to do It was pathetic I never knew that I needed to get a job and have something to do not for itself but because I needed to I am a young smart man I’m so capable you understand But I don’t do anything with that I spent 23 years sitting alone in my room Wishing for the perfect thing to do How bout that Every day I shirked my responsibility so I never worked a day in my life I never went down to the volunteer homeless shelter and said I’ll work for free But I’m tired of living that way I think I’ve given up today I will accept my responsibility I will no longer waste my life You see it’s not worth it to wait Nothing will come that’s perfect So When I rock I rock And when I dance I dance And when I talk I talk I’ll never miss a chance cuz now I understand When I rock I rock And when I dance I dance And when I talk I talk I’ll never miss a chance again Even tho I’m just a young man When I rock I rock And when I dance I dance And when I talk I talk I’ll never miss a chance Cuz My life is too short Not in that theoretical way that romantic bullshit can go away I think I understand life now I’ve been paralyzed with indecision I don’t understand why the division Between what I wanted and what I knew Was right because I spent my life running from the things I heard were right and from what was true But now I’ll turn my life around And never get all down and say I wish that I were dead I can’t believe I spent so many evenings sitting in my head and waiting to die So When I rock I rock And when I dance I dance And when I talk I talk I’ll never miss a chance Cuz my life is too short (2) (Instrumental breakdown)

F-Dm-Bb-C How old do you have to get before you're honest with your parents and can tell them about the time Kate broke your heart without getting embarrassed? How old do you have to turn before you see you're no longer a teenager, take your anger, burn it up, and leave those grudges forever? How old do you have to grow before you see your mom's an old lady who's probably all alone and definitely misses her baby? How old do you have to get before both your parents die and you're left saying I wish, I wish, I wish, I...? How old do you have to get before you see yourself in your family and start to love them for it as your closest connection out of all humanity? How long has to pass by before you tell your dad and mom "I'm sorry. I love you. Thanks for the things you did right. You're forgiven for what you did wrong."

g-c-g-d Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun (x5) I was born knowing nothing everyone around me was teaching stuff some of which was important most of which doesn't matter then I grew and felt my mom become a stranger and that was fine and I got out of her damn home to make my life my own (dun dun dun etc.) I screwed around in my 20's I met so many pretty ladies and then one day I found one I said I would like to marry when that ended I settled down i've got the best deal in the town a friend who really likes me now and maybe will forever (dun dun dun etc.) but i'll still walk to korn concerts they might be great I might get hurt and come home with lots of blisters and sore muscle smiles this will continue for a while then i'll see i'm not still a child and we'll say hey that was the best until the end arrives. (dun dun dun etc.) one day there will be a grave with my name on it and a date and underneath that it will say “help i'm still alive” (dun dun dun etc.)

g-bm-g-c It's a lonely lonely world (3) g-bm-c when you're shy g-bm-g-c You go out to the show 'cuz you're tired of staying in but you feel like a loser no matter what you're doin'. You're alone at home, or you're alone on the street, 'cuz you just don't know how to find a friend to meet. (chorus) You're surrounded by the best the world has to offer, but you get so depressed with no one to talk to. In Paris for a week, I didn't kiss anyone, 'cuz no one would talk to me. It's so hard to have fun in this lonely, lonely world (3) when you're shy. When you don't know what to do and you think you should just quit, someone shares food with you and you feel such love from it that your heart explodes with hope, as you rise from where you sat. When someone helps you cope, it no longer matters that (chorus). (2)
