Intro:
Em C D (x8)

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

Horn Break:
Em C D (x4)
Verse 2:
Em               C               D
I don't sleep anymore, I gave it up
               Em
'cause what we do is not enough
                C               D
And now they're calling out our bluffs
Em                     C                 D
Have you done a single thing for someone else
          Em                          C        D
Or do you take, take, take until your belly is stuffed?

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

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

Outro:
Em C D (x4)
