Chords

[Intro] Dm [Verse 1]
F                       Am
This is our town, this is Friday night

F                          Am
Dressed in our rags and our rage and our best

Dm                    C               F
Piercing eyes looking for something - anything, just anyone.
[Verse 2]
F                                Am
Stare across the floor as they begin to dance

F                               Am
Missing all the rhythms and the chosen right steps

       Dm                        C
And we laugh and we drink in our corner again

                  F
We're better than them
[Chorus]
   F                     Am                   
Divided we were born, divided we live

   F                Am
Divided we fall, divided we die

         Dm                      C
Still we tell ourselves over and over again

                  F
We're better than them
[Bridge 1]
         Am             D              Am             D
With our hunger and our hatred, we all walk this town

         F            G               D
With our fear and our weakness - just holding on

         Am            D                  Am               D
With our doubt and our emptiness and this cold, cold frown

               F     G                            D
We've got to be so important, we'll put the whole damn world down
[Verse 3]
       F                           Am
And we build the walls that we can hide behind

        F                   Am
And our finest weapon is our poisoned pride

Dm                          C
Here in this town where the jealousies burn

               F
We're watching you
[Verse 4]
       F                     Am
'Cause truth is only what we need it to be

   F                                 Am
To bring us survival through each and every day

     Dm                    C                     F
When nowhere is safe and nowhere is home - just be cool

    F                        Am
And what was she wearing and what did he say?

F                     Am
Who goes with who and what did they do?

   Dm                      C 
We tell ourselves over and over again

                  F
We're better than them
[Bridge 2]
         Am             D              Am             D
With our hunger and our hatred, we all walk this town

         F            G               D
With our fear and our weakness - just holding on

         Am            D                  Am               D
With our doubt and our emptiness and this cold, cold frown

             F        G                           D
We've got to be so important, we'll put the whole damn world down
[Chorus]
   F                     Am                   
Divided we were born, divided we live

   F                Am
Divided we fall, divided we die

         Dm                      C
Still we tell ourselves over and over again

                  F
We're better than them
[Outro] F Am F Am Dm C F
