Intro:
FF Riff
FF
C majorC
Well I admit to the mistakes
At least privately in takes
FF
And here's another one
C majorC
I said "we'd be okay"
"But that's a lie, man"
FF
I mean.. "Hey, we're all dying.. young!!"
C majorC
It's no worse off than it seems..
but it's more like a terrifying dream
FF
And I'm serious!!
C majorC
It's either whiskey, or a bong, or a car crash, or a bomb
FF
I'm serious!!
G+G
It's the only thing I think
A minorAm
When I wake up in my bed
A minorAm
When my stomach churns, as these pages turn
FF
Is the world burnin'
G+G
Or is it only.. in my head?
C majorC
On a screen on a TV
On a scene in front of me
FF
With all the white noise n the static
And the stifling of the screams
C majorC
This is war, this is death, this is real you better bet!
FF
On the winning side, the winning side,
The winning side, the winning side
C majorC
And I'm sittin' in a train
Over Brooklyn in the rain
FF
All by myself
C majorC
When a thought occurs to me..
That all these people wanna be
FF
Just somewhere.. else
C majorC
Like every day is just a loss,
spent arguing with your boss
FF
Over a coffee break
C majorC
Oh and the same is true for me,
I mean, one more indignity
FF
And I’m going to break
A minorAm
Because the only thing I think when he walks out on the screen
A minorAm
He says, “The sky falls, and your duty calls”
G+G
Man it takes some balls to be so obscene
C majorC
On a screen on a TV
On a scene in front of me
FF
With all the white noise n the static
And the stifling of the screams
C majorC
This is war, this is death, this is real you better bet!
FF
On the winning side, the winning side
The winning side, the winning side
G+G
The right side, the right side
A minorAm
Well they shipped you off, and your parents cried
G+G
And it all falls away so quietly
A minorAm
When you wake up to reality..
FF
But Reality?
G+G
What's reality? What's reality? What's reality?
FF
It's a fucking bullet!!
C majorC
Well I got a brother in Iraq
I got no way to get him back
FF
Like all those people in the sands,
Buried in Afghanistan
C majorC
I got a child in a crib
I got a father in a bib
FF
I got no pills
I got no skills
I got no idea what I did
C majorC
I just wonder every second
of every minute that passes by
FF
Are we living?
Are we dreaming?
Are we winning where we die?
G+G
In a cloud of dust, in a mushroom burst
A minorAm
In a series of degradations first
FF
All alone, in a hospital bed?
G+G
Wondering what we might of done instead!
C majorC
With a lifetime, lifetime
FF
A augmentedA lifetime
C majorC
A augmentedA lifetime
FF
A augmentedA lifetime
G+G
A augmentedA lifetime
A minorAm
Well, we paid our dues, and we did our time
G+G
But tell me what exactly was our crime?
A minorAm
Well I stand and stood for this fallen line
FF
While you decide who lives, who dies
C majorC
