[Verse 1]
F# F#     F# F#
The days keep dragging on
F# F#     F# F#
Those rats keep pushing on, woah
F# F#     F# F#
The slowest race around
F# F#     F# F#
We all just race around, woah
            D  D         E  E          F#   F#
And when the hope's gone the weight falls on me
            D  D         E  E          F#   F#
Yeah, when I'm gone the weight falls on me
[Verse 2]
F# F#     F# F#
No sense in signing up
F# F#     F# F#
Your name's already in
F# F#     F# F#
Go ahead, yeah, fuck it up
F# F#     F# F#
The next guy pays for it
            D  D         E  E
'Cause what I get ain't half of what I give
  F#   F#            F#   F#
And half don't suit me anyway
            D  D         E  E
'Cause what I get ain't half of what I give
            D  D         E  E
And half don't suit me anyway
   F#   F#           F#   F#
[Chorus]
 D  D         E  E
Maybe I sacrifice
 F# F#       F# F#
To feel like I'm alive
 D  D         E  E
Penniless, itâs all the same
 F# F#       F# F#
At least I'll die with a name
 F# F#       F# F#
I AIN'T DEAD YET
[Refrain 1]
 F# F#       F# F#
GIVE IT BACK
 F# F#       F# F#
OR I'LL TAKE IT
 F# F#       F# F#
GIVE IT BACK
 F# F#       F# F#
OR I'LL TAKE IT
