Capo 7th fret
 
 
[Intro]
Em7     Asus4   D Cadd9
Em7     Asus4   D Cadd9
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em7             Asus4       D Cadd9
  These are the golden years
Em7               Asus4         D Cadd9
  When people get what they want
Em7              Asus4      D Cadd9
  And you can be one of them
 
 
[Chorus 1]
G             Cadd9         D
'Cause you're old enough to burn
       G         Cadd9     D            Em7
So you earn your star, you run from the pack
G        Cadd9        D           Em7
Sell the clothes from off of your back
    G         Cadd9       D          Em7
And you'll go far, you'll never look back
     Cadd9            D
Your dreams can never die
D                         Em7
  Welcome to the facts of life
 
 
[Instrumental]
        Asus4   D Cadd9
Em7     Asus4   D Cadd9
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em7           Asus4       D Cadd9
  Life on the edge of town
Em7                Asus4   D Cadd9
  No one could get near you
Em7               Asus4       D Cadd9
  But one day you call to them
 
 
[Chorus 2]
G           Cadd9             D
  When they find you where it hurts
        G       Cadd9   D          Em7
You can fall so far you never come up
G          Cadd9  D       Em7
All you've got is never enough
    G        Cadd9    D          Em7
And just one word can make it so tough
     Cadd9              D
Your dreams were not so wise
       D                            Em7
You're runnin' through the facts of life'
 
 
[Instrumental]
        Asus4   D Cadd9
Em7     Asus4   D Cadd9
 
 
[Bridge]
Em7       Asus4  D Cadd9         Em7          Asus4  D Cadd9
Oh you're runnin'       from the facts of life
Em7       Asus4  D Cadd9         Em7          Asus4  D Cadd9
Oh you're runnin'       from the facts of life
Em7       Asus4  D Cadd9         Em7          Asus4  D Cadd9
Oh you're runnin'       from the facts of life
Em7       Asus4  D Cadd9         Em7          Asus4
Oh you're runnin'       from the facts of life
 
 
[Instrumental]
Em7     Asus4   D Cadd9
Em7     Asus4   D Cadd9
 
 
[Verse 3]
Em7                Asus4  D Cadd9
  The first time I saw you
Em7         Asus4   D Cadd9
You were untouchable
Em7               Asus4       D Cadd9
You walked on the poet's heels
Em7            Asus4  D Cadd9
No one could deny you
Em7                    Asus4        D Cadd9
Now you're lookin' for better things
Em7            Asus4   D Cadd9
Someone to get close to
Em7         Asus4     D Cadd9
A song everybody knows
 
 
[Chorus 3]
G        Cadd9                  D
When you find out what it's worth
        G       Cadd9      D          Em7
And you come so far you'll never turn back
    G           Cadd9       D             Em7
The stones they throw, they roll off your back
     G       Cadd9     D            Em7
They make it hard, you like it like that
     Cadd9             D
Your dreams will never die
 
         G     Cadd9      D          Em7
When you go so far you'll never turn back
    G           Cadd9      D               Em7
The stones they throw, you throw 'em right back
     G       Cadd9     D            Em7
They play so hard, you like it like that
    Cadd9             D
Our dreams become our lives
        D                         Em7
No more runnin' from the facts of life
