I got this chance, a golden [F] opportunity, if I'm going to [C] do it, what I'm [G] supposed to do.
[A] You see my point, everything depend [F] on me, super [C] fun and with others [G] I'm not the [A] best.
I feel it's my duty, my obligation, [F] that my faith in [C] standard society [B] suggests.
[F] I'll keep on looking [C] for the [G] benefits [F] and I'll keep on dreaming.

[A] I'm not a jay, but slaving and smiling, [F] playing and training, [C] living the life [Am] of a wealthy man.
But somehow I [F] don't feel so [C] rich [Bm] inside.
[A] That doesn't make sense, why to stack [F] this little vacation [C] as soon as I [A] can't dip.
Operation taken care [F] of, I'll start enjoying [C] the good things in [F] life.
So I'll keep on [C] working for the [G] benefit [F] and I'll keep on [B] drinking.
[C] I [F] keep on believing, [G] I keep on believing [Am] in my life.
When the bitterness fills [G] your mind, darkness fills [D] your heart.
Then I won't be [A] around, you'll feel you're [D] all alone.
[G] Then you'll know [D] it's time, to go into [A] the ground.
When the bitterness fills [D] your mind, [G] darkness fills [D] your heart.
And I won't [A] be [Am] around.

[A] I got my family, friends and associates [F] who stand by [C] me and just rest all [Em] goddamn.
[A] When you're defeated I still get concerned, [F] I ask [C] myself if it's all [G] just a chip.
[A] After all these years of being [F] deflation, [C] but what do I [A] get?
Debt is affection and just after love, [F] just paid through a money [C] jug full [G] of regret.
[F] I keep on believing, [C] my lifestyle [G] has value [F] and I'll keep on [B] laughing.
[C]
[F] Why can't I stop laughing?
[G] I can't stop the laughing.
