A long, long time ago When I used to chase rainbows I thought there was a pot of gold when I got to the end But there were many people there And I said, "What are you doing here?" They said they were looking for The end of the rainbow At the end of the rainbow Turns out it's not somewhere Look around, it's everywhere For anyone who cares This world is full of fancy dreams Money can get you anything But that's not really true It's just make-believe As you walk down streets of broken dreams Some have lost everything But others are still looking for an easy pot of gold At the end of the rainbow Turns out it's not somewhere Look around, it's everywhere For anyone who cares Some people will go to any means To capture shallow dreams In this world of make-believe That we all believe is true When you get there, there's no place to go Just a lot of, "I told you so's" So take this love with you when you go To the end of the rainbow At the end of the rainbow Turns out it's not somewhere Look around, it's everywhere For anyone who cares At the end of the rainbow Turns out it's not somewhere Look around, it's everywhere For anyone who cares

These things that I regret Like being called a nervous wreck And working up another sweat for you There's nothing I can do For counterparts and bleeding hearts And all the things that fall apart for you I don't keep my secrets there I hide them everywhere I could deny But I'll never realise I'm just chasing rainbows All the time And then I missed my cue Everybody had a laugh And then went for an early bath Did you? I don't keep my secrets there No, no, no I hide them everywhere I could deny But I'll never realise I'm just chasing rainbows All the time (I could deny) I could deny But I'll never realise I've been chasing rainbows All my life I could deny But I'll never realise I'm just chasing rainbows All the time (I could deny) I could deny But I'll never realise I've been chasing rainbows All my life (I could deny)

I'm always chasing rainbows Watching clouds drifting by My schemes are just like all my dreams Ending in the sky Some fellows look and find the sunshine I always look and find the rain Some fellows make a winning sometimes I never even make a gain Believe me, I'm always chasing rainbows Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain I'm always chasing rainbows Watching clouds drifting by My schemes are just like all my dreams Ending in the sky Some fellows look and find the sunshine I always look and find the rain Some fellows make a winning sometimes I never even make a gain Believe me, I'm always chasing rainbows

Monday morning you woke up crying The outcome of a stupid line oh-oh Said by some punk-ass on the street It wasn't me, it wasn't you It wasn't anybody you knew is it Your old friend insecurity? The one companion that stuck by your side since you were born Tuesday night you were in a fight The same old argument black and white It's something that's eating your inside It's not the food, it's not the booze It isn't anything consumed so is it Becoming a problem you can't hide? So every time you thought that you were wrong you were right The devil on your shoulder gives you strength in paranoia The countless times you called a few Your best friend till the end of time They'll always be there by your side Solidify conditions you've abused What that means you'll never have a clue More than just a life long friend No social life I guess we can pretend It's not like I care but anyway You always wanna leave, you never wanna stay Cause you think if you drink too much then you will lose it You'll drink your security away The one companion that stuck by your side since you were born The little voice inside your head, annoying and confusing That somehow tells you what to do Socially you've lost your mind and basically you're out of time You try to build so much it breaks on you What that means you'll never have a clue. What that means you'll never have What that means you'll never have What that means you'll never have a clue.

You were an illusion You made it look like we were something more Boy, what was I in for? Caused me such confusion I don't know who you are anymore Or who you ever were Warning signs and red flags But now I reconciled that I should've saved all my energy You were a waste of time Cause I sort of pathetically Thought that you were mine Oops, my mistake And I'm ashamed that I fell for all your lies A mistaken identity How did you get so sly? I, I, I How did you get so sly? I, I, I How did you get so sly? I know no one's perfect But you were nothing like you claimed to be It's still a mystery How do you live like that? Do you like driving people crazy? Like you did with me Warning signs and red flags But now I reconciled that I should've saved all my energy You were a waste of time Cause I sort of pathetically Thought that you were mine Oops, my mistake And I'm ashamed that I fell for all your lies A mistaken identity How did you get so sly? What a waste of my time You live a double life I swear you should go work for MI5 Cause you wear a disguise Almost all of the time How did you get, you get so sly? I should have saved all my energy You were a waste of time Cause I sort of pathetically Thought that you were mine Oops, my mistake And I'm ashamed that I fell for all your lies A mistaken identity How did you get so sly? I, I, I How did you get so sly? I, I, I How did you get so sly?
