E minorEm C majorC D MajorD (x8)

Verse 1:
 E minorEm
I never did lose a battle
    C majorC        D MajorD        E minorEm
But I'm feeling further from the end of war
      C majorC        D MajorD      E minorEm
Deplored, ignored and rarely ever self assured
           C majorC        D MajorD       E minorEm       C majorC     D MajorD
Why does it seem the ones that have everything have nothing inside? Nothing inside?

Horn Break:
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD (x4)

Verse 2:
E minorEm        C majorC        D MajorD
I don't sleep anymore, I gave it up
        E minorEm
'cause what we do is not enough
        C majorC        D MajorD
And now they're calling out our bluffs
E minorEm           C majorC         D MajorD
Have you done a single thing for someone else
     E minorEm             C majorC    D MajorD
Or do you take, take, take until your belly is stuffed?

Chorus:
E minorEm       C majorC              G+G
How long do you think you can go before you lose it all?
      D MajorD                 E minorEm
Before they call you bluff and watch you fall?
           C majorC             G+G
I don't know but I'd like to think I had control
          D MajorD             E minorEm
At some point but I let it go and lost my soul
         C majorC
Sit tight but the revolution's years away
G+G            D MajorD              E minorEm
I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say
           C majorC            G+G
So I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate
           D MajorD
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite

E minorEm C majorC      G+G        D MajorD             E minorEm
Oh! To have died that night, I realized it wouldn't last!
                C majorC             G+G
Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass
            D MajorD
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed
E minorEm C majorC     G+G         D MajorD         E minorEm
Oh! To the west, you don't know what it is you're running from
  C majorC            G+G
And everybody's laughing loud
               D MajorD
Your last chance to make your mother and your father proud

Outro:
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD (x4)
