Intro: G#G#

G#G#
A augmentedA man of great ambition he pushed himself to
                        C#C#
A augmentedA man upon a mission with great riches to achieve

All his friends admired him
                  G#G#
And every word they trusted and believed
     F#F#    C#C#         G#G#
And the odds seem forever in his favour
                  C#C#   G#G#
He made a sound investment in his own abilities
                 C#C#   G#G#
A augmentedA healthy clientele and some committed employees
C#C#                            G#G#
Well regarded in the town, money to be made, and cash be found
     F#F#    C#C#         G#G#
And the odds seem forever in his favour

C#C#                 G#G#
Sooner or later the man is bound to fall
 C#C#
Won't find
      F#F#             G#G#
Sooner or later empires are bound to fall
   F#F#     C#C#        G#G#
The wind blows forever without waver

    F#F#   C#C#     G#G#
(some unintelligible speech)
    F#F#       C#C#
But the odds were not endeavored
        G#G#
Forever in your favour

  G#G#
He bought a grander house on a more expensive street
                  C#C#    G#G#
Quite a price to pay for a place to rest his feet
C#C#                         G#G#
Felt the water rise before he knew it wasn't all ...

     F#F#        C#C#      G#G#
Still he thought he had the odds in his favour

We hate to disappoint you, the banker didn't knew

The string of repossessions, his wife's expensive heels
   C#C#                            G#G#
But sitting down upon the kerb he felt a certain feeling of relief
    F#F#        C#C#        G#G#
And he knew the odds were far from in his favour

C#C#                  G#G#
Sooner or later the man is bound to fall
C#C#
Won't find (ma
F#F#        C#C#          G#G#
Sooner or later it's the end of the road
     F#F#       C#C#        G#G#
Does the wind don't blow forever without waver

   F#F#   C#C#     G#G#
(some unintelligible speech)
  F#F#          C#C#
But the odds were not endeavored
        G#G#
Forever in your favour

G#G#
You're expensive pockets are empty and you're feeling insecure
                           C#C#
I think you may resent it, and in fact, I'm pretty sure

Is being wealthy really all that far from being poor
    G#G#
I'm not so sure
    F#F#      C#C#        G#G#
And the odds are not forever in your favour
