[Verse]
Cm Cm/A# A# Hedge every bet, lick every boot, make every appeal Cm Cm/A# A# Prostrate yourself to the killing machine to spare yourself from its wheels Cm Cm/A# A# "A#etter them than me" rolls so seductively off your tongue G# Cm A# Your reckoning has begun - Ugh!
[Verse]
Cm Cm/A# A# In spite of endless war, extinction level events, depredation and plague Cm Cm/A# A# Every one of your ancestors survived to reproductive age Cm Cm/A# A# The probability that you are even here is next to none G# Hey, no pressure everyone!
[Verse]
Cm Cm/A# A# When shit got dark I had to face it alone, there'd be no crying for help Cm Cm/A# A# Just how I'm wired, I've had to figure shit out my whole life by myself Cm Cm/A# A# I ain't saying it's cool, it's fucked up, truth be told it's cost me a few friends G# Sometimes you must protect yourselves
[Chorus]
G# G#/G Fm G# G#/G Fm Motherfucker I'm resourceful, resilient, I power through the waves of disappointment G# G#/G Fm Maybe not quite thriving but I'm buoyant Cm I am at peace these days F G# A# (Give or take a fit of blinding rage)
[Post-Chorus]
Cm D# F
A# Cm D# F I can't seem to shake the belief A# Cm D# F That there's a liminal state between A# Cm D# F Death and rebirth in which you and me G# Reconvene
[Bridge]
G# G#/G Fm Oh yes, I'm really fun at parties G# G#/G Fm Draw a dick on my face with a Sharpie G# G#/G Fm Excuse me sir, this is an Arby’s Cm I am at peace Cm I am at peace A# Though presently G# Convulsed with grief Cm I am at peace Cm Some days I'm scared I'm gonna die G# Or even worse I might survive A# I try to keep these words in mind: A# Cm G# A# Cm "Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight. Gotta kick at the darkness til it bleeds daylight."
[Outro]
