[D] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[D] _ I _ [Dm] have been lonely _ _ And I _ _ have been blind _
And [D] _ I [Dm] _
have learned nothing _ So my hands are _ [D] firmly tied _
To the _ sinking _ _ lead _ [Bb] weight _ [D] of _ _ failure
_ _ _ I've [B] _ _ [D] _ _ worked hard all my life _ [Dm] _
_ _ [A] _ Money slips through [D] my hand _
My _ face in the mirror tells me It's no _ [A] surprise that I am _
_ [G] _ [Dm] For shame, _ [E] the [Bb] stone _ of [D] the hill of _ failure _ _ [A] _
_ And _ they tempt me with violence _
_ _ _ And they punish me with ideals And they crush me _ with an image of my life
That's nothing _ but _ unreal _ Except [Dm] on the _ goddamn _ [E] _ slave [Bb] ship _ [D] _ of _ _ failure _ _ _ _
[B] And _ [A] _ _
I'll drown here trying _ To _ _ get up for some air _
But each time I _ think I _ breathe _ [Am] _ I'm laid [A] on _ with a double share
[Am] Of the _ [Dm] punishing _ [C] _ [E] _ _
burden _ [D] of _ failure
[A] _ _ _ _
I _ _ _ _ don't deserve to be down here _ _ But _ _ I'll never leave _
And _ _ I, _ I've learned one thing [Am] _ [D] You can't escape _ the beast
_ In [Dm] the null and _ [Bb] void in a [E] _ _ [D] _ _
failure
_ _ _ When _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Dm] get my hands on some money _ [D] _ I'll kiss its [A] green skin
_ [D] And I'll ask it, _ dirty face [Dm] _ _ [D] Where the hell _ have you been?
_ I'm the fuel _ _ that [Bb] _
fires _ [Dm] the engines of _ [D] failure _ _
_ _ And _ _ I'll be old and broken [F] down _ _ [D] And I'll forget who and where [Dm] I am
I'll [D] be senile _ or forgotten _ _ But I'll remember _ _ _ and _ [Dm] understand
You can't bank your [E] hard-earned money _ _ _ [Dm] On _ _ failure _ _ _
I _ [D] _ _
saw my father crying [A] _ I [D] _ _
[A] saw my mother break her hand
I saw my father on a wall _ _ that wouldn't _ weep But [D] that certainly [A] _ _ held in _
_ [Am] The mechanical [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
maws [E] [Dm] Of a dying man who was a failure
[Am] _ _ [D] _ My _ back hurts me when I bend [Am] _ _ [D] Cause _ [A]
I carry [D] a load _
[F] And my [D] brain [A] _
_ hurts [D] like a knife [Am] hole Cause [D] I've yet to [A] _ be shown _
_ [C] How to [Dm] pull _ _ myself [Bb] out from The [Dm] _ sucking whips and the [D] failure
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ Some [Dm] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
people lie in hell _ _ [D] Many _ _ _ [A] bastards _ succeed _
_ _ But I, _ _ I've learned nothing _ I [D] can't even elegantly _ _ bleed _
Out [Am] the _ [Dm] poison _ _ [E] _ blood _ _ Of [D] _ _
failure _ _ _ _ _
