[Intro] G C Am F [Verse 1]
C                               C G
You, you try, you try to get by

Am                                                      G
You’re never gonna pull it off you shouldn't even try

F                                                   C
You’re a wet cigarette, you’re always second best.

G                                                      C
They’re never gonna give a shit about anybody but themselves.

C                                                  G
So you fight, for them to realize, there’s more to life,

Am                                                    G
There’s more to you, there’s more than meets the eye

F                                         C
And when you’re done, the battle’s been won,

G
You sit back you smile and this is
What you hum, you hum:

Am                                                    G

F                                                  C
You’re a wet cigarette, you’re always second best.

[Verse 3]
C                                     G
(Years!) go by, the time it does fly,

Am                                      G
Every single second is a moment in time,

F                                             C
that passes oh so quick, and it seems like nothing,

G                                                       C
but when you're looking back, well it amounts to everything,

C                                                     G
(Whoa) I've got myself, I've got my friends, (Whoa oh oh)

Am                                                      G
I've got my little family, but that's not where it ends, (Whoa oh oh)

F                                              C
This one goes out to you, it goes out to everyone, (Whoa oh oh)

G
It's in the name of honesty ‘cause life has just begun.
[Chorus]
C                               C     G
Whoa,                           whoa, oh,

Am                                                Am     G
oh,                                                whoa, oh,

F                                         F C
oh                                       whoa, oh

G                                                G
oh,                        1234, 1234
(bassline bit, don't know the tab) [Verse 4]
C                                                         G
Look around little brother can you tell me what you see?

Am                                        G
You're a big boy now, so take responsibility,

F                                                  C
you never had it hard, but now it's getting tough,

G                                                    G
so you (whine! whine! whine!) and you say you've had enough.

C                                               G
You say I'm full of shit, that I'm a hypocrite

Am                                                        G
I shouldn't talk when I can't take the advice that I give,

F                                            C
Well maybe you're right, but open your eyes:

G                                                    G
the main difference here is that I (try! try! try!)
[Chorus] whoa....
