[Intro] Em C D (x8) [Verse 1]
  Em
I never did lose a battle

        C               D               Em
But I'm feeling further from the end of war

            C                D           Em
Deplored, ignored and rarely ever self assured

                     C                D             Em              C         D
Why does it seem the ones that have everything have nothing inside? Nothing inside?
[Horn Break] Em C D (x4) [Verse 2]
Em               C               D
I don't sleep anymore, I gave it up

               Em
'cause what we do is not enough

                C               D
And now they're calling out our bluffs

Em                     C                 D
Have you done a single thing for someone else

          Em                          C        D
Or do you take, take, take until your belly is stuffed?
[Chorus]
Em              C                           G
How long do you think you can go before you lose it all?

            D                                 Em
Before they call you bluff and watch you fall?

                     C                          G
I don't know but I'd like to think I had control

                    D                         Em
At some point but I let it go and lost my soul

                  C
Sit tight but the revolution's years away

G                        D                           Em
I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say

                     C                        G
So I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate

                      D
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite

Em C           G                D                         Em
Oh!  To have died that night, I realized it wouldn't last!

                               C                          G
Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass

                        D
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed

Em C          G                  D                 Em
Oh!  To the west, you don't know what it is you're running from

    C                        G
And everybody's laughing loud

                              D
Your last chance to make your mother and your father proud
[Outro] Em C D (x4)
