Hurry up before you go and get old
Bm                     A        G    A
Hurry up before your blood runs cold
Bm                    A        G    A
None of us were ever meant to stay
Bm                    A        G    A
We're all gonna find that one day

[Pre-chorus]
        Bm                   A              G   A
You see life's too short to run it like a race
         Bm                         A          E
So it's never gonna matter if you win first place
E/G#
Cause we're all the same

[Chorus]
G                      D                 Bm
Stop waiting on your fifteen minutes of fame
       A
Cause you're not special
G                  D              Bm
I'm not trying to rain on your parade
     A
But you're not special
G                  D
I'm not trying to bring you down
Bm                 A              G
I'm not trying to sound so ineffectual
    A
But you're not special

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Bm                   A            G   A
Hurry up before the bottle kicks in
Bm                         A        G  
Before the poison and the pain sets in 
                 A
(Get up, get up)

[Pre-chorus]
Bm                                     A       G   A
If you take it down a notch and you let me explain
Bm                        A        E
That on this earth we are all the same
E/G#
And all I can say is

[Chorus]
G                     D                 Bm
Stop waiting on your fifteen minutes of fame
       A

I'm not trying to rain on your parade

I'm not trying to bring you down
Bm                 A              G
I'm not trying to sound so ineffectual
    A              Bm  D
But you're not special

[Bridge]
G
We all live to lie We all fall apart
Bm
We all go to war For the faint of heart
A
Instead we're condescending
A             Bm
There are no happy endings
G
I won't hold my breath I won't cast a doubt
Bm
I'd never sell you out
A
But I'll give you one last chance to own it
A/C#
Cause you're not a god or a poet so

[Chorus]
G                     D                 Bm
Stop waiting on your fifteen minutes of fame
       A
Cause you're not special

I'm not trying to rain on your parade
     A
But you're not special
G                  D
I'm not trying to bring you down
Bm                 A             G
I'm not trying to sound so ineffectual
    A
But you're not special

G                 D
(Get up, get up, get a move on)
Bm                 A

              'Cause you're not a special
G D Bm           A                 G D Bm
      'Cause you're not a special
