F.Y.I The whole song is "F Dm Am"
F Dm Am
    FI've been Dmtryna lose you Ambaby
    FI'm getting Dmkinda used to fAmailing every try
    FI guess we bDmoth refuse to fAmace it
    FNeither Dmone of us will eAmver change our stripes
FWhy are we dancing Dmnow that the party's Amover?
FWhy are we running Dmnow that the race is Amdone?
Yea we tFry to let it Dmgo, but there's no Amway we can control it
If we can't Fpull the trigDmger, then baby Amlet this linger
LAminger
FOn and on, Dmon and on, Amon and on (Linger)
FOn and on, Dmon and on, Amon and on
     FSo I Dmkeep the fire bAmurning
     FBut I'm wDmondering why I sAmtill can feel the cold
     FAnd I sqDmueeze and I squeeze as hAmard as I can
     FHoping I Dmwill get some bAmlood out of this stone
FWhy are we dancing Dmnow that the party's Amover?
FWhy are we running Dmnow that the race is Amdone?
Yea we tFry to let it Dmgo, but there's no Amway we can control it
If we can't Fpull the trigDmger, then baby Amlet this linger
LAminger
FOn and on, Dmon and on, Amon and on (Linger)
FOn and on, Dmon and on, Amon and on
[Lupe Fiasco:]
     FWe'll make it Dmlast 'till the last one
AmEach release is just a lease that repeats the past one
FSong that never ends, that was DmLamb Chop
Exodus, bAmut the sex in us is a welcome mat back to Jamrock
      FSo Dmeven when the band stops
AmGuitar still playin' even though the hand's not
FAnd all of this amounts to polterDmgeists and haunted houses so
AmEven when we die, we'll still be alive
FWhy are we dancing Dmnow that the party's Amover?
FWhy are we running Dmnow that the race is Amdone?
Yea we tFry to let it Dmgo, but there's no Amway we can control it
If we can't Fpull the trigDmger, then baby Amlet this linger
Linger
(x2)
FOn and on, Dmon and on, Amon and on (Linger)
FOn and on, Dmon and on, Amon and on

F.Y.I The whole song is "F Dm Am"

F Dm Am

I've been tryna lose you baby

F Dm Am

I'm getting kinda used to failing every try

F Dm Am

I guess we both refuse to face it

F Dm Am

Neither one of us will ever change our stripes

F Dm Am

Why are we dancing now that the party's over?

F Dm Am

Why are we running now that the race is done?

F Dm Am

Yea we try to let it go, but there's no way we can control it

F Dm Am

If we can't pull the trigger, then baby let this linger

Linger

F Dm Am

On and on, on and on, on and on (Linger)

F Dm Am

On and on, on and on, on and on

F Dm Am

So I keep the fire burning

F Dm Am

But I'm wondering why I still can feel the cold

F Dm Am

And I squeeze and I squeeze as hard as I can

F Dm Am

Hoping I will get some blood out of this stone

F Dm Am

Why are we dancing now that the party's over?

F Dm Am

Why are we running now that the race is done?

F Dm Am

Yea we try to let it go, but there's no way we can control it

F Dm Am

If we can't pull the trigger, then baby let this linger

Linger

F Dm Am

On and on, on and on, on and on (Linger)

F Dm Am

On and on, on and on, on and on

[Lupe Fiasco:]

F Dm

We'll make it last 'till the last one

Each release is just a lease that repeats the past one

F Dm

Song that never ends, that was Lamb Chop

Exodus, but the sex in us is a welcome mat back to Jamrock

F Dm

So even when the band stops

Guitar still playin' even though the hand's not

F Dm

And all of this amounts to poltergeists and haunted houses so

Even when we die, we'll still be alive

F Dm Am

Why are we dancing now that the party's over?

F Dm Am

Why are we running now that the race is done?

F Dm Am

Yea we try to let it go, but there's no way we can control it

F Dm Am

If we can't pull the trigger, then baby let this linger

Linger

(x2)

F Dm Am

On and on, on and on, on and on (Linger)

F Dm Am

On and on, on and on, on and on
