C   Bm   D   G  G ~ G/F# ~ Em


[Verse]

Em             Am
  Picture yourself in the living room

I know you think that it ain't too far

    Em          C
  But I hear the call of a lifetime ring
       C ~ D ~ G
felt the need to get up for it
          Am
Oh, you cut out the middleman
  Bm
get free from the middleman


[Chorus]

C             G
 You got no time for the messenger,
C            D       G ~ B ~ C
 got no regard for the thing that you don't understand,
C            Bm
 you got no fear of the underdog,
D
 that's why you will not survive

G C G D D G C ~ G

C  Bm  D  G G Bm
C  Bm  D  G G ~ G/F# ~ Em


[Verse]

Em            C
 I want to forget how conviction fits
     D      G
but can I get out from under it?
       Bm
Can I gut it out of me?

C        G
 It can't all be wedding cake
        Am
It can't all be boiled away
           Bm
I try but I can't let go of it
 B
I can't let go of it,


[Chorus]

C               G
 'Cause you don't talk to the water boy
C               D       G ~ B ~ C
 and there's so much you could learn but you don't want to know,
C            Bm
 You will not back up an inch ever,
D
 that's why you will not survive,

G C G D D G C ~ G

C  Bm  D  G B ~ C

C  Bm  D  G....       G ~ G/F# ~ Em


[Verse]

Em         Am
 The thing that I tell you now
D       G       G
It may not go over well
Em        Am
And it may not be photo-op
D         G
in the way that I spell it out


[Chorus]

C              Bm
 But you won't hear from the messenger,
C              D       G ~ B ~ C
don't wanna know 'bout something that you don't understand,
C            Bm
You got no fear of the underdog,
D
that's why you will not survive
