[Verse 1]
C         C               C              C
I have friends who have jobs they wear suits to
          F               C
I have friends who have 401k’s
         F               F
I have friends who want kids
              C            C             G                          Am
And they’re naming their babies their spouses’ late grandparents’ names

C                       C          C
I know some kids who never left Newtown
           F                 F           C
Doing the same things they did back in high school
       F                       C       G      C                      Am
It’s ironic to me that they probably see my mom more than I get a chance to

[Chorus]
        F         G           C                  F            G        C
I took one hard look in the mirror and I didn’t know what I wanted to see
                 F            C              F           C
But there was a man standing there with my eyes and my hair
         F            G         C
He was pointing and laughing at mе

C              F                C
And he said, get your act togethеr, kid!
G                    Am
Screw your head on straight
         F          F           C           C
You know it can be wise to try taking your time
       F             G        C
Just don’t expect no one to wait


[Verse 2]
C            C            C              C
There’s some kids that I know who are junkies
              F                       C
There’s some more who are sitting in jail
      F             F               C
And yeah there’s a few who went to heaven too soon
          C          G               Am
There’s a couple who tried but they failed

        C          C             C
In the back of my mind I heard something
                F       F             C
A voice, that I soon recognized as my own
           F               F               C
It said “those who throw stones shouldn’t live in glass homes
        G                               Am
Or at least that’s what we’ve all been told”



[Chorus] 
       F         G           C                  F            G        C
I took one hard look in the mirror but I was confused by what I was seeing
                 F         C              F      C
Cuz there was a boy and a bear with the beast unaware
          F            G              C
That the boy was too damn scared to breathe

C
So I said
F               C
Get your act together, kid
G                    Am
Screw your head on straight
      F          C            G          C
And should you decide to try saving your hide
             F            G          C
Well, you’d best set your mind to escape

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
          C           C              C
My best childhood friend’s getting married
               F                  C
The other is getting his Harvard degree
      F              F            C        C
I bet I cross their minds every once in a while
    C           G          Am
I wonder what they think of me


[Chorus]
        F         F           C                  F            G        C
I took one hard look in the mirror and I didn’t know what I wanted to see
                 F                  G         C
But there was nobody there and the longer I stared
          F        G        C
Well, the more I began to believe

        C          F        C
I gotta get my act together, man
         G                 Am
I gotta screw my head on straight
          C                        G          C
Or maybe I’ll be just fine in the long run if I
        F        G        C
Let it all be decided by fate
