Verse: 
D5                 A5            F#5                   B5
Rolling around a lifetime on a name that spells my past
         D5              A5              E5            A5       
Carried through the mile markers up towards some last laugh
       D5                  A5          F#5                    B5
And if fools could only prosper, I'm afraid what they might say
       D5                A5              E5             A5       
From a podium built on generations bleeding what they make

Chorus:
         F#5                    ( Bb5 )
Because here it comes
                B5
Watch them all jump right in
          D5                                      A5
Tell me, how could you refuse to float with the rest of them?
          E5                      G5            
You were born into it, there's no shame if you drift
            D5           A5
Down the bloodline

Interlude: D5   A5  G5  F#5

Verse 2:
D5              A5           F#5                  B5
Feeling temperamental underneath a broker sun
          D5       A5                  E5               A5       
A certificate of excellence, but no proof on your pay stub
        D5               A5          F#5               B5
And if money's now a problem , I suggest you best believe
              D5              A5                   E5             A5       
There's ten dollars on the table, and a million up his sleeve

Chorus 2:
    F#5                 ( Bb5 )
And here they come,
                 B5
 watch them all pass us by
         D5                               A5
Tell me how could you refuse to look one in the eye?
     E5                     G5            
Two sheets to the wind all over again
            D5           A5
Down the bloodline
            D5           A5
Down the bloodline


Bridge:
 F#5      ( Bb5 )         B5
     Yes, it feels scary         to be ordinary
 D5                                        A5
     In a world that don't know your name
 F#5            ( Bb5 )         C#m?
        It would not be weird            if I just disappeared
 D5                         A5
     Blowing my back out,       trying to hold my weight

Solo:
E5  G5  D5  A5  A5 - Ab5
E5  G5  A5

Verse 3:
D5              A5            F#5                      B5
Looking for a doctor with a cure for a broke heart
         D5                A5                    E5            A5       
Seems I spent it all on a miracle just to watch it fall apart
               D5              A5                             F#5                      B5
Now there's no room for ill-complaining, I know it's all just what it is
         D5           A5                     E5          A5       
Cherry-pick my best believers and send them off with a kiss

Chorus 3:
         F#5            ( Bb5 )
Because there they go
                B5
Watch them all wave goodbye
        D5                                       A5
Tell me how could you refuse to think it's a wonderful life?
    E5                      G5            
Two sheets to the wind all over again
           D5            A5
Down the bloodline
           D5            A5
Down the bloodline
           D5            A5
Down the bloodline

D5  A5  G5  F#5  G5  A5  D5
