Tabbed by: http://www.andreasvockrodt.de [Intro] G D G D G D G D [Verse]
E               A
Everything's a lie

E                 A
We're all gonna die

E                             A     E A
Before we say goodbye, let's attack

E               A
I admit it's bleak

E                A
But I give it a week

E                     A              E  A
Until our friends the meek give it back
[Chorus]
G
Is it true?

A          E             D
Well, it's true enough I guess

G               A     E       D
Join the chorus of the second best (second best)

G      D
Second best (second best)

G      D
Second best (second best)

G      D
Second best (second)
[Verse 2]
E                            A
What's left of you that's real?

E             A
A mutated ideal

E                A          E A
With limited appeal, I suggest

E                  A
If winning is an art

E                      A
Then it's drawn us apart

E                       A                 E A
When you erased your heart and beat your chest
[Chorus 2]
G
Is it you?

A          E            D
Well, it's you enough I guess

G               A   E            D
You're an angel in a see-through dress

G
Is it true? (Is it true?)

A          E             D
Yes, it's true enough I guess (second best)

G      D
Second best (second best)

G      D
Second best (second best)

G      D
Second best (second best)

G      D
Second best (second)
[Interlude] E A E A E A E A [Verse 3]
E                        A
Perhaps it's just as well

E                         A
That I still look like hell

E                      A          E  A
At least the world can tell us apart
[Chorus 3]
G
Uh-huh, is it true?

A          E            D
Yes, it's true enough I guess

G                    A    E          D
Come join the chorus of the unimpressed

G
Is it true? (Is it true?)

A          E             D
Yes, it's true enough I guess

G                     A    E       D
Sometimes it's better to be second best (second best)

G      D
Second best (second best)

G      D
Second best (second best)

G      D
Second best (second best)

G      D
Second best (second best)

G      D
Second best (second best)

G      D
Second best (second best)

G      D
Second best (second best)

G      D             A
Second best, uh-uh
