CAPO III
INTRO: A
GDAAsAsus2
His father was a Princeton lawyer, a man of means
GDAAAsus2
His mother summa cum laude, former beauty queen
GDAAsus2
In a house as big as a hotel on Spencer Boulevard
GAsus2
That's where he got his start
18 years of summer camp and private schools
All American golden boy with a silver spoon
His future held all the promise of a president
Wonder where it went
CHORUS:
BmGDAAsus2
It's hard to be the crown prince when it all hits home
BmGDA
You can't hide behind the walls, around the throne
BREAK: G D A Asus2 A Asus2
The real world's not a playground, it's a danger zone
You find out who you really are when the pressure's on
He's the first one in his family to wind up second best
He couldn't pass the test
Now his share of the fortune's spent on savin' face
His family comes to visit on the holidays
Sometimes it's so quiet there he hears the flowers bloom
He's got a private room
CHORUS
BREAK
GDAAsus2
Insanity's a state of mind where life begins
GDAAsus2
Or where it ends it all depends
