[Verse 1]
ALet's begin at the beginning, weA/D're lovers and we're losers
A/EWe're heroes and we're pioneers, we're begDsus2gars and we're choosers
ESkirting 'round the edges of the F#Mideal demographic
E/G#We're always on the guest list,but we're alDsus4ways stuck in traffic
AWe've watched our close associates Up anA/Dd play their parts;
A/EThey're chatting up the it girls, And thDsus2ey're tearing up the charts,
EWhile we were paying with coppers To geF#Mt our round in at the bar.
E/G#We're the C-Team, we're the almost famous ODsus4ld friends of the stars.
[Bridge 1]
G9/6 F#M E Dsus2
[Verse 2]
AJustin is the last Of tA/Dhe great romantic poets,
A/EAnd he's the only one among us Who is everDsus2 going to make it.
EWe planned a revolution From a cF#Mheap Southampton bistro.
E/G#I don't remember details But there Dsus2were English boys with banjos.
AJay is our St George, anA/Dd he's standing on a wooden chair,
A/EAnd he sings songs and he slays dragons, and he's Dsus2losing all his hair.
EAdam is the resurrected spirit oF#Mf Gram Parsons,
E/G#In plaid instead of rhinestone andDsus2 living in South London.
AAnd no one's really clear about Tommy's A/Djob description,
A/EBut it's pretty clear he's vital tDsus2o the whole damn operation.
EDave Danger smiles at strangers, Tre's tF#Mhe safest girl I know,
E/G#Zo and Harps will skamper up to victory in Dsus2the city we call home.
[Bridge 2]
G9/6 F#M E
We won't change our ways, we will proud remain when the glory fades.
Dsus2When the glory fades.
[Verse 3]
AI am sick and tired of people WhA/Do are living on the B-list.
A/EThey're waiting to be famous And tDsus2hey're wondering why they do this.
EAnd I know I'm not the one who iF#Ms habitually optimistic,
E/G#But I'm the one who's got the microDsus2phone here so just remember this:
ALife is about love, lastA/D minutes and lost evenings,
A/EAbout fire in our bellies and furtDsus2ive little feelings,
EAnd the aching amplitudes that sF#Met our needles all a-flickering,
E/G#And help us with remembering that the only Dsus2thing that's left to do is live.
[Bridge]
G9/6 F#M E Dsus2
[Verse 4]
Yeah the only thing that's left to do is live
AAfter all the loving and the losA/Ding,
A/EFor the heroes and the pioDsus2neers,
EThe only thing that's left to do F#mIs get anotherE/G# round in at theDsus2 bar
