E MajorE        A augmentedA
Everything's a lie
E MajorE         A augmentedA
We're all gonna die
E MajorE               A augmentedA   E MajorE A augmentedA
Before we say goodbye, let's attack
E MajorE        A augmentedA
I admit it's bleak
E MajorE        A augmentedA
But I give it a week
E MajorE           A augmentedA       E MajorE A augmentedA
Until our friends the meek give it back

What's left of you that's real?
E MajorE       A augmentedA
A majorA mutated ideal
E MajorE        A augmentedA     E MajorE A augmentedA
With limited appeal, I suggest
E MajorE         A augmentedA
If winning is an art
E MajorE           A augmentedA
Then it's drawn us apart
E MajorE            A augmentedA         E MajorE A augmentedA
When you erased your heart and beat your chest

E MajorE            A augmentedA
Perhaps it's just as well
E MajorE             A augmentedA
That I still look like hell
E MajorE           A augmentedA     E MajorE A augmentedA
At least the world can tell us apart

A augmentedA     E MajorE       D MajorD
Yes, it's true enough I guess
G+G           A augmentedA  E MajorE    D MajorD
Sometimes it's better to be second best (second best)
