A Small Victory

   A
A hierarchy
Spread out on the nightstand
The spirit of team
Salvation is another chance
E
 A sore loser

         D             F#m E
Yelling with my mouth shut

         A
A cracking portrait
The fondling of trophies
The null of losing
Can you afford that luxury?
E
 A sore winner
              D              F#m E
But i'll just keep my mouth shut

             A
It shouldn't bother me, no, it shouldn't, no, no
It shouldn't bother me, no, it shouldn't,
But it does

          A
The small victories
The cankers and medallions
They keep me thinking that someday
E
I might beat you
               D             F#m
But i'll just keep my mouth shut

           A
It shouldn't bother me, no, it shouldn't, no, no
It shouldn't bother me, no, it shouldn't
            E  A  E
But it does

           A
If i speak at one constant volume
At one constant pitch
At one consonant rhythm
Right into your ear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
