                                              [Verse]
         C5 
As I was walking through a life one morning                          
    D5
The sun was out, the air was warm 
    A5         F5
but ohh, I was cold,                            
             C5
and though I must have looked a half a person,           
   D5
to tell the tale in my own version,  
       A5                    F5
It was only then that I felt whole. 


G5                              D5 
   Do you believe in something beautiful? 
         F5
Then, get up and be it! 



                                              [Chorus]
C5
Fighting for the smallest goal to 
D5 
get a little self control. 
  A5  
I know how hard you try-- 
  D5 
I see it in your eyes. 
A5  
Call your friends, 'cos we've forgotten 
D5 
What it's like to eat what's rotten, 
           A5 
and what's eating you alive, 
      D5 
might help you to survive. 



                                              [Verse] 
C5
We went on, as we were on a mission, 
D5
latest in a grand tradition. 
A5               F5
Oh, what did we find? 
C5                
It was Ego who was flying the banner, 
    D5                       A5
But Me and Mia, Ann and Ana, oh, 
          F5
we'd been unkind. 


G5                             D5
  Do you believe in something beautiful? 
      F5
Then, get up and be it! 



[Chorus x1] 


                                              [Bridge] 
F5          E5          D5        A5   
  Even the nights they could get better. 
F5              E5        D5        A5  
  and even the days ain't all that bad. 
F5             E5           D5 
  And after a week of fighting, 
   A5
as more and more it seems the right thing 



G5                           D5
Do you believe in something beautiful? 
     F5
Then get up and be it! 

                                              [Chorus]
C5
Fighting for the smallest goal to 
D5
get a little self control 
      A5                 D5     
Won't anybody here, just let you dissapear? 
     C5
Now, doctors know your mom and dad, 
    D5          
but me and Mia, Ann and Ana 
A5
know how hard you try-- 
          D5
don't you see it in my eyes? 



C5
Sick to death of my dependence, 
D5
Fighting food to find trancendence. 
A5
Fighting to survive. 
D5
More dead, but more alive. 
C5
Cigarettes and speed for living, 
D5
sleeping pills to feel forgiven. 
A5
All that you can try, 
    D5
And all that you're deprived. 


C5
What a bourgeois social angel! 
D5
Telling you you've got to change. 
A5
Don't have any idea. 
D5
They'll never see so clear. 
C5
But don't forget what it really means to 
D5
hunger strike, when you don't really need to 
A5                              D5
Some are dying for a cause, but that don't make it yours. 


F5            E5          D5        A5 
And even the nights they could get better...
