[Verse 1]
F#           D                F#
One afterthought on a skin game
          D       E
"I took it as prescribed"
A            D   A         B
Vow do no harm, buy the cure
                               F#
But first you'll buy the disease


[Pre-Chorus]
I can see you've had some struggles 
    D    B F#
lately
                       D    B Bm
Hey man, I've had mine too


[Chorus]
F#                          A
Fighting to get through the door
F#                        A  F#m  B
But I can't live like this anymore
                        D
They gave us wings to fly
                E    B        F#
But then they took away the sky

"Serve me"
        D      E
Sell me to the spoon
A                           B
I'm cashing in, falling out, tear me
 down, hang me up
F#                  D         F#
Strung out to please the king in
                D       E
 metropolitan's Sackler wing
A                    B       
I can help you, it's how I help 
     F#
myself


[Pre-Chorus]

I can see you've had some struggles
     D   Bm
 lately
   F#             E    D   Bm
Hey man, I've had mine too


[Chorus]
F#                             A
Fighting to get through the door
F#                    A       F# B
But I can't live like this anymore

They gave us wings to fly
                             F#
But then they took away the sky

But I won't be your dog anymore
                        D
You gave us wings to fly
                E   B          F#
But then you took away the sky

Crack a window
