Intro:

G Dadd4/F# Dsus2 D Cadd9
G Dadd4/F# Dsus2 D Cadd9

Verse 1:
G                  D/F# Cadd9
I can only sing it loud
       D/F#             G
Always try to sing it clear
         D/F#             Cadd9      D/F#
What the hell are we all doing here?

Verse 2:
       G            D/F#
Making too much of nothing
     Cadd9  D/F#        G
Or creating one unholy mess
            D/F#       Cadd9      D/F#
An unfair study in survival
I guess


Pre-Chorus:
        Em    Am
But it always comes down
           G
To what to do
                D/F#
When it's all around you


Chorus:
         G          Dadd4/F#  D/F#
And this tightwire act
           Cadd9     G                   D/F#
Leaving us here for dead to news of the world
    Cadd9   D/F#     G
And liquor piles up ahead
         D/F#                Cadd9
Dodging those with words of power
   D/F#           G
Forever on their breath
                 Dadd4/F#       Am
When the quality of life gets tripped up
               C
And strangled like death
                       D/F#            C
It seems it's getting harder out there
                    Am            G
Especially without time enough to see


Solo:
Dadd4/F# D/F# Cadd9
G Dadd4/F# D/F# Cadd9
G

Verse 3:
        D/F#  Cadd9       D/F#     G
True to life   is another hangover
G       D/F#             Cadd9        D/F#  G
True to life is more and more politics
G       D/F#            Cadd9                    D/F#   G
True to life is always having to look over your shoulder
G       D/F#       Cadd9        D/F#
True to life is assembly-line sickness


Pre-Chorus:
        Em    Am
But it always comes down
           G
To what to do
                D/F#
When it's all around you


Chorus:
         G          Dadd4/F#  D/F#
And this tightwire act
           Cadd9     G                   D/F#
Leaving us here for dead to news of the world
    Cadd9   D/F#     G
And liquor piles up ahead
         D/F#                Cadd9
Dodging those with words of power
   D/F#           G
Forever on their breath
                 Dadd4/F#       Am
When the quality of life gets tripped up
               C
And strangled like death
                       D/F#            C
It seems it's getting harder out there
                    Am            G
Especially without time enough to see
