[Intro] Bass
D F#m Em Bm x4
[Verse 1]
D F#m
It's a waste of time
Em Bm
It's a race that can't be
D F#m
won Call the whole thing off
Em Bm
Well that's easier said than
D F#m Em
done And I try to shut it out
Bm D
And I think I've figured out
F#m Em
That it makes no sense to
Bm
compare what I've done
[Chorus 1]
G Bm A D
Now So what do I
G Bm A D
do now that I'm alone?
Bm
I've been building up
G
and tearing down And
A
looking for what
G Bm A D
never can be found
G
So what do I do now
Bm A D
that I'm alone?
Bm
God I tried so
hard to get here
C
But still I'm averaged
D F#m Em Bm
out Graded on a curve
[Verse 2]
D F#m Em
Put the blinders on and
Bm D
believe in someone else
F#m
You're not what they want
Em Bm
that's exactly what they
D F#m
sell And it's all been
Em
preordained but it's
Bm D
never quite the same
F#m
Once you've figured out
Em Bm
that it makes no sense at all
[Chorus 2]
G Bm A D
So what do I
G Bm A D
do now that I'm alone?
Bm
I've been building up
G
and tearing down And
A
looking for what
G Bm A D
never can be found
G
So what do I do now
Bm A D
that I'm alone?
Bm
God I tried so
hard to get here
C
But still I'm averaged
out Graded on a curve
[Chorus 3]
G Em Bm
And I don't care if I'm
A G Em
the one who makes mistakes
D
And I don't care how long
A G Em
this is going to take
D
Does it really matter
A
how you played the
G Em D
game When you were
A
never really in it
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D F#m
It's a waste of time

It's a race that can't be

Well that's easier said than
[Chorus 4]
G Bm A D
Done So what do I
G Bm A D
do now that I'm alone?
Bm
I've been building up

looking for what
