C (x32010@1)                     GSome (320003@1)nights I call it a draw.
C (x32010@1)                          F (133211@1)               CSome (x32010@1)nights I wish that my lips could build a castle.
F (133211@1)            C (x32010@1)               GSome (320003@1)nights I wish they'd just fall off

F (133211@1)       C (x32010@1)         F (133211@1)       CBut (x32010@1)I still wake up, I still see your ghost.

VERSE:
CThis (x32010@1)is it, boys. This is war.
F (133211@1)          CWhat (x32010@1)are we waiting for?
F (133211@1)           C (x32010@1)               GWhy (320003@1)don't we break the rules already?
       CI (x32010@1)was never one to believe the hype.
F (133211@1)                 CSave (x32010@1)that for the black and white.
       F (133211@1)                  CI (x32010@1)try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
     GBut (320003@1)here they come again to jack my style
               CAnd (x32010@1)that's alright
            F (133211@1)         CI (x32010@1)found a martyr in my bed tonight.
    F (133211@1)                  CShe (x32010@1)stops my bones from wondering

C (x32010@1)       F (133211@1)   C (x32010@1)    F (133211@1)    GYeah, (320003@1)oh who am I    mmmm   mmmmm

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

BRIDGE 1:
play chord pattern C-F-C-F-C-F-G in background

So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No. When I see stars, that's all they are.
                          GWhen (320003@1)I hear songs, they sound like a swan.
         F (133211@1)         C (x32010@1)          F (133211@1)          GSo (320003@1)come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!

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

BRIDGE 2:
             FMy (133211@1)heart is breaking for my sister
         CAnd (x32010@1)the con that she called love.
            FBut (133211@1)when I look into my nephew's eyes,
FMan, (133211@1)you wouldn't believe
C (x32010@1)                                    GThe (320003@1)most amazing things that can come from.
                 C (x32010@1)  F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) GSome (320003@1)terrible nights.

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

Fin.
