opinion this
is the band's best song.

it
together, so here is my attempt:

          Em                       
'81 was the year shit hit the fan 
     C
in a major way
    G                       D
a sad day for inspiring artists
         Em                     C
Almost 20 years after the fact I'm 
still on my hustle
    G                          
Diggin' graves for an inspiring 
   D
artist
Pushing daises up
          Em                     C
And never compromise the arts and 
make a crowd clap
     G                       D
Shit on since the first show
      Em                           
But we turned feces to fertilizer
 C

                 G                 
So when you diss it's just food for
       D
 the flowers to grow
       Em             C
Sold 15 plus out of backpacks, no 
trunks
  G                D
Too young to drive
But live hip hop
      Em                     C    
And the kids are upstate kids that
                  G                
 thought rap was past tense, hence 
D
the last name
      Em                           
Got name for playing basements and 
C                   G
such and making songs that our 
friends
  D
loved
     Em                            
And when the fish bowl got too 
  C
small to hold the goldfish
   G                            D
We filled our gills with water and 
ripped that mother fucker like


           Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
        Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
          Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
    Em9                          
And in your dream it's time to do 
               A
the best you can now

            Em7
We bring ourselves down
         Bm7 /F#
And build ourselves up in 
disappointment
              Am7
How fragile we are
              Am7
So fragile we are, we just don't 
show it
             Em7
We'll shake up this town
          Bm7 / F#
And shoot down the stars for our 
enjoyment
            Am7
So sexy we are
            Am7
So sexy we are, we just don't know 
it

Em7        Bm7 /F#           Am7


  Em                             C
This is what you wanted right?
                               G   
How many nights were spent pouring 
                       D
out your guts dummy?
                        Em      
How many punishments endured for 
                         C
fucking up in school?
                           G     
How many teachers proved wrong by 
                          D
writing songs instead?
My point exactly
          Em                     
But you knew you had a spark, did 
      C
you?
                             G   
Something producin' to the dreams 
                            D
your pop's dreams lent you
                      Em           
Stay focused when nothing seemed to
             C
 make sense
                           G     
Stealing verses with that Cassius 
                  D
Clay confidence
                Em             
Sometimes you stubborn as shit, 
                  C
that's the McCoy in you
                   G               
You learn to be a man without 
        D
losing the boy in you
Just do your thing man

          Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
        Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
         Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
       Em9                       
And in your dream it's time to do 
               A
the best you can now

           Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
       Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
          Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
      Em9                        
And in your dream it's time to do 
               A
the best you can now

            Em7
We bring ourselves down
         Bm7 /F#
And build ourselves up in 
disappointment
              Am7
How fragile we are
              Am7
So fragile we are, we just don't 
show it
             Em7
We'll shake up this town
          Bm7 / F#
And shoot down the stars for our 
enjoyment
            Am7
So sexy we are
            Am7
So sexy we are, we just don't know 
it



*****Travis repeats chorus again*



            Em7
We break ourselves down
         Bm7 /F#
And build ourselves up in 
disappointment
              Am7
How fragile we are
              Am7
So fragile we are, we just don't 
show it
           Em7
We shake up this town
          Bm7 / F#
And shoot down the stars for our 
enjoyment
            Am7
So sexy we are
            Am7
So sexy we are, we just don't know 
it

Em7        Bm7 /F#           Am7


           Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
       Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
          Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
      Em9                        
And in your dream it's time to do 
               A
the best you can now
