Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

 A moment of silence, please, for those who never get the chance

They show up to the party, but they're never asked to dance

 The losers and the liars and the bastards and the thieves

The cynicists, yeah the pessimists, and those that don't believe in nothing

Verse

I never met a loser that I didn't see eye-to-eye with,

I declare , I stare into your eyes but you look right past me into the air

What's it like to stand in your shoes?

 To have never felt the belt of somebody's abuse?

I take the bottle and I tip it for all my heroes that have passed

 At last, you have left us, but your stories they will last

 Uninspired by the recruiting call

Independent we stand, independent we fall

Prechorus verse

 So tell me how long do you think you can go before you lose it all?

 Before they call your bluff and watch you fall?

 I don't know, but I'd like to think I had control

 At some point, but I let it go and lost my soul

 Sit tight, but the revolution's years away

 I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say

 So, I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate

 The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite

 Oh! To have died that night, I realized it wouldn't last

 Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass

 The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed

 Oh! To the west, you don't know what it is you're running from

 And everybody's laughing loud

 Last chance to make your mother and your father proud

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Chorus

Verse

 They said "a pox, upon your house, upon your family

 And everyone you ever knew, and everyone you'll ever meet"

I bet they think we wish we joined when we could

 But we do what we want and we don't do what we should, yeah

Everybody's laughing, yeah they're thinking they're in on something I don't get

 Don't forget, I connect and I read every word you said

 Like a child who believes he was wronged

 If you hate me so much, then stop singing my songs

Prechorus verse
