[Em] [D] [Em]
[D] [Em]
[Bm] [Em]
A moment of silence [C] please for those that [D] never get the [Em] chance
Show up to the [C] party but they [D] never ask to dance
[Em] Losers, liars, the [C] bastards, [D] the thieves
[Em] Citizens, the [Cm] pessimists, those that don't [Em] believe in nothing
[D] [Em]
[D] [Em] [D] [Em]
[C] [Bm] [Em] I never met [C] a loser that I [E] didn't see eye to [Em] eye with
I declare, I stare into your [D] eyes but you look right [Am] past me into [C] the air
What's it like to [D] stand in your [Em] shoes?
You've never felt the [C] belt of [B] somebody's [Em] abuser
Take [C] the bottle and I'm [D] dippin' for all my [Em] heroes that's fast
[C] Alas, you've [D] left us but your story's never [Em] last
[C] Uninspired by the [Gm] recruiting [Em] call
It's as bad as we [C] stand and just [B] as bad as we [Em] fall
[D] [Em]
[C] [G] [Em] [G] [Em]
[C] So [B]
[Em] tell me, how [D] long do you think you can [G] go before you lose it all?
[D] Before they call you up to [Em] watch you fall
I don't [D] know but I like to think I [G] have control
Some [D] point but I let it go and [Em] lost my soul
Spit [D] time but the [G] revolution's in the way
You lose your [D] faith and you run to lower [Em] things to say
So I [D] guess I have to just do what [G] goes with me
Die [D] at the moment, lose the way, and [Em] hate will fade
Oh, [C] to have [G] died that [D] night, I realized I [Em] wouldn't last
Days were [C] numbered and the creeper tipped the [G] hourglass
I finally [D] made it over since the ship was [Em] coming past
[C] Oh, to [G] the West you [D] don't know what it [Em] is you're running [C] from
And everybody's [G] laughing loud
Last [D] chance to make your mother and your [Em] father proud
[C] [G] [Em]
[C] [F#m] [Em]
[Bm] [Em] [Am] [D] [Em] A moment of silence, please, [C] for those that never [D] get the [Em] chance
They show up to the [C] party but they're [D] never asked to [Em] dance
The losers, the liars, the [D] bastards, the [Em] thieves
The simpsons, the [C] pessimists, the pros [B] who don't [Em] believe in nothing
[D] [Em] [E] [Em]
[D] [Em] [C] [D] [Em] The sandbox, upon [C] your house, upon [D] your family
[Em] And everyone you ever knew [C] and everyone [Em] you'll ever meet
I bet they think we wish we joined when we could
We do what we want, [C] we don't do [B] what we should
[Em] Now everybody's laughing [C] cause they're digging [D] their in on something [Em] I don't get
Don't forget, [C] I connect [D] and I read every [C] word you said
Like a child who believes [D] he was wrong
[Em] You hate me so much that I'm taking my songs
So [F#m] [Em] [Am] [D] [Em]
[A] [B] [Em] [D] [B]
tell [Em] me, how long [D] do you think [G] you can go before you lose it all?
[D] Before they call you up to watch you [Em] fall?
I don't know, [D] but I like to [G] think I have control
Some point, [D] but I let it go and lost my [E] soul
Sit tight, [D] but the revolution's in the [G] way
I'm losing weight, [D] then I'm running low on things [Em] to say
Don't want to guess [D] I have no choice but to encourage [G] a play
Night at the [D] moment, I surrender, [Em] hypocrite
[C] Oh, you [G] have died that [D] night, I realize it wouldn't [Em] last
My games are numbered [C] and the reaper tipped the [G] hourglass
Finally the [D] opposite, can't hit the crown in [Em] class
Oh, [C] to [G] the west, you don't [D] know what it is [Em] you're running from
[C] And everybody's laughing [G] loud
Last chance to [D] make your mother and your father [Em] proud
[C] [D] [Em] [C] [D] [Em]
[C] [D] [Em]
[C] [D] [Em] Ooh, [Bm] ooh, [Em] ooh, ooh, [Am] ooh, ooh, ooh
[G] [Em] [Em]
