[Verse 1]

The great prot

ector
              
Is that what I

              
'm supposed to

 
 be?
        
What if all th

is counts for 

nothing
              
Everything I t

              
hought I'd be?
          
What if by the

 time I realiz

e
          
It's too far b

         
ehind to see?

Seventy-mil pr

ojector
              
I can show you

        
 everything, y

eah
          
And we're on o


ur way to glor

y
              
Where the show

            
 won't ever en


d
        
And the encore

 lasts forever
         
And it's time 

            
we're due to s


pend

    

[Verse 2]

Spending the y

ears together
              
Growing older 

      
every day (Eve

ry day)
          
I feel at home


 when I'm arou

nd you
              
And I'll gladl

       
y say again
           
I hope the enc

ore lasts fore

ver
            
Now there's ti

         
me for us to s

       
pend
              
And it's subli

              
me with you, m

  
y friend

This right her

e still feels 

like a honeymo

on
              
When you say m

  
y name, nothin

g's changed
              
I'm still a bo

            
y inside my th


oughts
              
Am I meant to 

        
understand my 


faults?

[Chorus]
              
I don't think 

  
so
              
I don't think 

              
I'm meant to u

           
nderstand myse

lf
    
Maybe you do



And that's good for you
   
Maybe in time
          
Maybe one day


           
I'll do the sa

me
        
ooo OOO ooo

(play verse chords for Ooos)...

             
(I'll do the s


ame
            
I'll do the sa


me

I'll do the
      
same...

   
      

[Bridge]
            
I'll do the sa


me as you
             
I'll try and h


old it up
       
Soon I hope
              
Or as soon as 

                   
I'm old enough

         

            
(Old enough to

       
 understand)

         

   

            
Old enough to 

              
 understand)

      

         
       

       
   

[Outro]
            
Stay forever, 

              
you know more 

          
than anyone (Y


eah, whoa)
         
And it's you t

hat knows my d

arkness

And you know my bedroom needs
          
You could blas


t me and my se

crets
              
Because there'

              
s probably jus

     
t no need
