You, you try, you try to get by.
Am
"You're never going to pull it off", "You shouldn't even try"
F
"You're a wet cigarette", "You're always second best",
G
but they're never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves.
C
so you fight for them to realize;
Am
there's more to life, there's more to you, there's more than meets the eye.
F
And when you're done, the battle's been won.
G
You sit back, you smile and this is what you hum, you hum:

CAmFG
He wakes up sad again and he wonders when the rain will end,
CAmFG
She acts like she don’t care cause to her it’s just a game, that he plays,
CAmF
I’m a super, I’m a nothing, I’m a no one, goin’ nowhere fast,
GC
But I don’t care, but I don’t care,
AmF
I’m a super, I’m a nothing, I’m a no one, goin’ nowhere fast,
GC,Am,F,G
But I don’t care, but I don’t care.
C
The years go by, the time it does fly.
Am
Every single second is a moment in time that
F
passes oh, so quick and it seems like nothing,
G
but when you're looking back, well it amounts to everything.
C
I've got myself. I've got my friends.
Am
I've got my little family, but that's not where it ends.
F
This one goes out to you, it goes out to everyone.
G
It's in the name of honesty because life has just begun.
CFGC
Started with six or seven, moved on to eight or nine. What will you do when they come
you?
CFGC
Nobody seemed to notice, nobody seemed to mind. What will you do when they come for you?
CFGC
Little miss demissed can't miss like a detuned radio. I cannot believe you when you tell
what you know
CFGC
And nothing will be broken if your house is made of stone. But you will know as I do it
never be a home
AmFCG
We want it, they got it. They claim we'll die without it
AmFCG
But something tells me they are wrong
FGCFGC
So what will you do when they call your name and you're not ready to go?
CFGC
Everyone will stare at you and tell you what you know
CFAmG
That you're in too deep and you can't quite keep your secrets, one and all
FGCAm
We might just make it after all, on our own
FGCC
We might just make it after all
FGCAm
But we had one foot on the gas and one foot in the grave
CFGC
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made
CFGG
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made
CAm
All the times he said he would she never really understood,
FGC
What he said, or what he meant, he won't forget what wasn't said,
CAmFG
He’ll find himself alone standing in the rain, yeah, yeah, yeah,
CAmF
I’m a super all or nothin’, I’m a no one, going nowhere fast,
G
But I don’t care,
CAmF
I’m a super all or nothin’, I’m a no one, going nowhere fast,
GCAmFG
But I don’t care, but I don’t care.
CG
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
Am
And everything else was part of the plan
DmCG
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
CGAmF
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end
CGC
And we all just idolize the dead
CGAm
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
DmCG
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
CGAmF
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
CGC
And nothing and no one will ever take that away
CGAm
Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home
FCG
We had a heart-to-heart about life
CGAmEm
But neither him or me could decide for ourselves
FG
If we wanted to outlive that night
CGAm
Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls
FCG
Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes
CGAmEm
If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole
FG
What a wonderful world this could be!
C
Na, na, na, na, na, na
G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
AmF
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C
Na, na, na, na, na, na
G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
AmF
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
CGAm
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep
F
I hope you think of me, yeah
C
Na, na, na, na, na, na
G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
AmF
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
CFGC
So do the right thing or do nothing. What will you do when they come for you?
CFGC
Or just do what is easier. What will you do when they come for you?
CFGC
That's what I read what I swear they said to me. Nine times out of ten they lied to me
CFGG
And after all they had the guts to say Son, no one will save you now
AmFCG
We want it, they got it. They claim we'll die without it
AmFCG
But something tells me they are wrong
CGAm
So, how many more examples until we break?
FCG
So how many sacrifices must we make?
CG
Because we've all been there once before
AmEm
And it looks like we've returned once more
FG
So is this the beginning or the end?
CG
The last two soldiers on the battlefield
Am
Survivors of the war
FCG
They aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord
CG
"If you're listening, I'm missing him
AmEm
So somehow bring him home.
FG
How did it come to this?"
CG
So the soldiers lift their rifles
Am
And they're aiming at the head
FCG
They think of their first love before they take their final breath
CGAmEm
And somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said:
FG
"How did it come to this?"

Outro Chorus
CGAm
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep
F
I hope you think of me, yeah.
CG
Yeah, the times we had, they were not that bad
Am
And everything else, that was part of the plan
DmCG
And we sang, "I don't know where we go from here"
CGAmF
This is the Alpha (Alpha!), Omega (Omega!), beginning and the end!
CGC
And we all just idolize the dead
CGAm
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
DmCG
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
CGAmF
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
CGC
And nothing and no one will ever take that away
And someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end
But we can't just get in line again.
