Intro:
C5 C5 F5 Riff
C5 C5 F5 F5

C5
Well I admit to the mistakes 
At least privately in takes
      F5
And here's another one
C5
I said "we'd be okay"
"But that's a lie, man"
           F5
I mean.. "Hey, we're all dying.. young!!"
C5
It's no worse off than it seems.. 
but it's more like a terrifying dream 
        F5
And I'm serious!!
        C5
It's either whiskey, or a bong, or a car crash, or a bomb
      F5
I'm serious!!

        G5
It's the only thing I think 
       A5
When I wake up in my bed
       G5                        A5
When my stomach churns, as these pages turn 
        F5
Is the world burnin'
                      G5
Or is it only.. in my head?

         C5
On a screen on a TV
On a scene in front of me
              F5
With all the white noise n the static 
And the stifling of the screams
        C5
This is war, this is death, this is real you better bet!
        F5
On the winning side, the winning side, 
The winning side, the winning side

        C5
And I'm sittin' in a train 
Over Brooklyn in the rain
        F5
All by myself
C5
When a thought occurs to me..
That all these people wanna be 
       F5
Just somewhere.. else
        C5
Like every day is just a loss, 
spent arguing with your boss
        F5
Over a coffee break
        C5
Oh and the same is true for me, 
I mean, one more indignity
         F5
And I?m going to break

             G5                          A5
Because the only thing I think when he walks out on the screen
               G5                  A5
He says, ?The sky falls, and your duty calls?
       F5                             G5
Man it takes some balls to be so obscene

      C5
On a screen on a TV
On a scene in front of me
              F5
With all the white noise n the static 
And the stifling of the screams
        C5
This is war, this is death, this is real you better bet!
        F5
On the winning side, the winning side 
The winning side, the winning side

     G5
The right side, the right side
          A5
Well they shipped you off, and your parents cried
           G5      
And it all falls away so quietly
         A5
When you wake up to reality..
      F5
But Reality?
                        G5
What's reality? What's reality? What's reality?
                 C5                 F5
It's a fucking bullet!!

             C5
Well I got a brother in Iraq
I got no way to get him back
               F5
Like all those people in the sands, 
Buried in Afghanistan 
        C5
I got a child in a crib
I got a father in a bib
         F5
I got no pills 
I got no skills
I got no idea what I did
       C5
I just wonder every second 
of every minute that passes by
        F5
Are we living?
Are we dreaming?
Are we winning where we die?

     G5
In a cloud of dust, in a mushroom burst
     A5
In a series of degradations first
F5
All alone, in a hospital bed?
                                   G5
Wondering what we might of done instead!

       C5
With a lifetime, lifetime
       F5
A5 lifetime, A5 lifetime
       C5      
A5 lifetime, A5 lifetime
       F5
A5 lifetime, A5 lifetime
       G5
A5 lifetime, A5 lifetime
         A5
Well, we paid our dues, and we did our time
             G5
But tell me what exactly was our crime?
       A5
Well I stand and stood for this fallen line
      F5
While you decide who lives, who dies
           G5                      C5
I hope you choke on all.. your... lies
