G                       C            G
Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck.
C             G         D
Some nights I call it a draw.
G                            C                 G
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle.
C              G                 D
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off

       C         G           C         G
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost.
               C         G          D
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh.
C          G          C        G
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Em                     D       (C  G  C  G  C  G  D x2)
Most nights, I don't know anymore




C                 G
This is it, boys. This is war.
C            G
What are we waiting for?
C             G                 D
Why don't we break the rules already?
       C            G
I was never one to believe the hype.
C                   G
Save that for the black and white.
       C                    G
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
     D
But here they come again to jack my style
               C - G
And that's alright
            C           G
I found a martyr in my bed tonight.
    C                    G
She stops my bones from wondering
     D                         C - G
Just who I am, who I am, who I am.
         C - G      C - G     D
Yeah, oh who am I    mmmm   mmmmm





C             G               C         G
Some nights I wish that this all would end
        C               G               D
'Cause I could use some friends for a change.
     C           G                C         G
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again.
      C                G     D
Some nights, I always win (I always win)
       C     G              C          G
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost.
           C           G           D
Oh Lord, I still don't know what I stand for, oh.
      C    G               C    G
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Em                   D
Most nights, I don't know




C               G
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
D
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
C                             G                       
No. When I see stars, when i see stars, that's all they are.
         D
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan.
         C           G            D
So come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!



C                   G
That is it, guys, that is all.
C                   G
Five minutes in and I'm bored again.
C                              G           D
Ten years of this, and I'm not sure if anybody understands.
C                          G
This is not one for the folks back home.
C                          G
I'm sorry to leave, Mom, I had to go.
C                     G             D
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?



             C
My heart is breaking for my sister
         G
And the con that she called love.
            D
But when I look into my nephew's eyes,
C
Man, you wouldn't believe
G                                      D
The most amazing things that can come from.
                (C   G   C   G  C  G  D x4 and through ending)
Some terrible nights.

C                    G                      C              G
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
C              G           D
I called you up, but we'd both agree
C            G                C     G
It's for the best you didn't listen
C           G                 D
It's for the best we get our distance.


take it home! C G C G C G D
