C     Bm     D     G   G D     (x2)


[Verse 1]
Em                         Am
   Picture yourself in the living room
                           G
your pipe and slippers set out for you
                         Bm
I know you think that it ain't too far
Em                           C
   But I hear the call of a lifetime ring
         C    D      G
felt the need to get up for it
                    Am
Oh, you cut out the middleman
    Bm
get free from the middleman
C                         G
  You got no time for the messenger,
C                       D              G
  got no regard for the thing that you don't understand,
C                        Bm
  you got no fear of the underdog,
D
  that's why you will not survive

[Verse 2]
Em                        C
  I want to forget how conviction fits
          D            G
but can I get out from under it?
             Bm
Can I gut it out of me?
C                G
 It can't all be wedding cake
                Am
It can't all be boiled away
                      Bm
I try but I can't let go of it
  B
I can't let go of it,
C                             G
 'Cause you don't talk to the water boy
C                              D             G
 and there's so much you could learn but you don't want to know,
C                        Bm
 You will not back up an inch ever,
D
 that's why you will not survive

[Verse 3]
Em                 Am
  The thing that I tell you now
D             G              G D
It may not go over well
Em                Am
And it may not be photo op
D                 G              G D
in the way that I spell it out
C                            Bm
 But you won't hear from the messenger,
C                       Bm                 G     D
C
 don't wanna know 'bout something that you don't understand,
                       Bm
You got no fear of the underdog,
D
 that's why you will not survive
