Em C D
 
 
[Verse 1]
         Em
I'm an educated fool
      C                 G               D
So I don't know what is I'm supposed to do
            Em
About this awkward situation
             C                     D
That's been forced down right upon me
 
 
[Verse 2]
        Em
As I'm walking down into
       C            G         D
On my own into the valley of life
       Em
Got a lifetime of experience
      C              D
I've got so much to give
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Open the page on chapter one
C                        G             D
Could this just be that life's just begun
Em
Forever within your darker thoughts
    C                G                 D
Reflecting on everything you've been taught
 
 
[Verse 3]
      Em
Never felt this way before
            C               G
Seems that somebody's just opened
     D           Em
The door to the book of life
Or is it death?
          C            D
Is there ever any way out?
 
 
[Verse 4]
           Em
Someone's looking down on me
        C          G          D
To the very inner core of my soul
            Em
They won't tell me what they see
        C             D
But I really want to know
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I want to live my life on my own
C                   G         D
I want to lift the unturned stone
Em
I want to walk right into the fire
C                   G        D
I want to live out all my desires
Em
I want to go and see the fire burn
C                   G            D
I want to see and feel my world turn
Em
I want to know what more there's to learn
C                   G             D
I want to pass the point of no return
 
 
[Verse 5]
        Em
Do you really want to be
       C             D
Just another one statistic
                  Em
Or feel that you really should aspire?
           C                 D
That you really do deserve more?
 
 
[Verse 6]
        Em
Do you ever really feel
          C             D
That you have so much potential inside?
          Em
What you really have to give
           C             D
Could be realised much more
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I want to live my life on my own
C                   G         D
I want to lift the unturned stone
Em
I want to walk right into the fire
C                   G        D
I want to live out all my desires
Em
I want to go and see the fire burn
C                   G            D
I want to see and feel my world turn
Em
I want to know what more there's to learn
C                   G             D
I want to pass the point of no return
 
 
[Chorus]
Em    G     C D   Em  G    C  D
Time will flow and I will follow
Em    G   C  D   Em  G    C  D
Time will go, but I will follow
Em    G     C D   Em  G    C  D
Time will flow and I will follow
Em    G   C  D   Em  G    C  D
Time will go, but I will follow

I want to feel what life's like respond

Em
I want to walk right into the light
C                   G         D
I want to feel no fear but delight
Em
I want to live my life on my own

              I'm an educated fool
So I don't know what it is I'm supposed to do
About this awkward situation
That's been forced down right upon me

As I'm walking down into
On my own into the valley of life
Got a lifetime of experience
Yeah I've got so much to give

Open the page at chapter one
Could this just be that life's just begun
Forever within your darker thoughts
Reflecting on everything you've been taught

Never felt this way before
Seems that somebody's just opened the door
To the book of life... or is it death
Is there ever any way out

Someone's looking down on me
To the very inner core of my soul
They won't tell me what they see
But I really want to know

I want to live my life on my own
I want to lift the unturned stone
I want to walk right into the fire
I want to live out all my desires
I want to go and see the fire burn
I want to see and feel my world turn
I want to know what more there's to learn
I want to pass the point of no return

Do you really wanna be
Just another one statistic or feel
That you really should aspire?
That you really do deserve more?

Do you ever really feel
That you have so much potential inside?
What you really have to give
Could be realised so much more

I want to live my life on my own
I want to lift the unturned stone
I want to walk right into the fire
I want to live out all my desires
I want to go and see the fire burn
I want to see and feel my world turn
I want to know what more there's to learn
I want to pass the point of no return

Time will flow
And I will follow
Time will go
But I will follow

Time will flow
And I will follow
Time will go
But I will follow

I want to feel what life's like respond
I want to meet my father beyond
I want to walk right into the light
I want to feel no fear but delight

I want to live my life on my own
I want to lift the unturned stone
I want to walk right into the fire
I want to live out all my desires

Time will flow
And I will follow
Time will go
But I will follow

Time will go
But I will follow
Time will go
And I will follow

Time will go
But I will follow

The educated fool
