Does it make you feel mighty

F C

To be in control

C E Am

Have you ever witnessed beauty?

F C

Do you even know the word?

C E Am

Yes, mild is the life of a failure,

I’m a victim to defeat and forfeit

C E Am

Oh should I be miserable and married?

F C

Cast out never sure of a win

[Bridge]

C E Am F C

[Verse 2]

C E Am

So a man lives his life, working

For something he don’t like too well

While the dreamers dream dreams

Of more impossible schemes

Toss me a job and a steady billfold

C E Am

When the curtain finally falls down

F C

And it’s time to close up the shop

C E Am

Will you just stand right there and take another goddamn bow,

F C

Rise up or sit on back down

[Chorus 2]

F G

Oh you bastards keep on this one way

C E Am

As you fan yourselves with defeat

F G

As a child you’ll learn there’s no other way

C E Am

Until you learn what a lie really means

I’m a man, no I am an animal

And this town's got to be something...

F G C

Another place, another home, to be

[Outro]
