It was a common story, yeah who cares that I changed? 

Why are people freaking out? 
G5             Bb5 
Maybe I gave in more then I should, 
F5                C5
maybe I sold out 
D5
But the truth was I was really getting nowhere  

until I woke up and found 
        G5                      Bb5 
That morals can't take you up to the top  
      F5                      C5  
your standards pull you down 
 

F5       G5     A5      Bb5 
Was it worth it what I gave away 
           G5        C5
For five minutes of fame 
F5         G5 A5      Bb5 
Minutes over no one knows my name 
         G5       C5      D5
Or my minute of fame, Yeah 
 

D5
I always said the thing that meant  

the most to me was my very integrity 
G5
Who would have thought I'd 
Bb5                     F5        C5 
ever trade it all for popularity 
D5
'Cause the truth is though I've made it to the top 

I'm anything but satisfied 
G5             Bb5 
I gave up the only thing that mattered  
F5              C5 
for this empty life 


A5     G5    A5     Bb5     Ab5    Bb5    C5     Bb5    A5     
This time I'm saying no 
G5    A5     Bb5     A5    Bb5     F5      
This world will know what I be? lieve in 
A5     G5     A5     Bb5     
I've lost e? nough to know 
A5    Bb5     G5     F5     C5
That life's too short to waste it
