if there was som^Cething wrong would you be oh so strong? ^F would you do what it takes to move this hollow life along? i'd like to think i would, you know i'd like to think i would but i guarantee that what you see is not reality and every time i make a point she makes a counterpoint she said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice and you know that's only just the way it goes (you said it right man, that is just the way it goes)

i'd like to sing^F a song (please swear you won't be long) ^C i'll try not to be long but i don't want to get this story wrong there was a kid who never cared about the little things don't even bother because i'm tired and i'm sick of it and every time she makes a point i'll make a counterpoint she said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice and you know that's only just the way it goes (you said it right man, that is just the way it goes)

i've g^Fot a gun in my hand^C but that gun won't^G cock ^C my fin^Fger's on the trigge^Cr but that trigger ^Gseems locked ^C and i ^Fcan't stop staring ^Cat the tick tock cl^Gock ^C and ev^Fen if i could i wou^Cld never give up ^{G C} with a^F vest on my chest a^Cnd a bullet in my l^Gung ^C i can'^Ft believe i'm dying^C with my song unsun^Gg ^C so if ^Fand when i die won'^Ct you bury me alone^G? ^C becaus^Fe i'll never get to^C heaven if i'm sing^Ging this song: ^C oh, you don't know where i've been oh, you don't know what i've seen if i did somethi^Fng right ^C would you give up this fight? would you say you were wrong and maybe someone else was kind of right i'd like to think you would you know i'd like to think you would but i can't guarantee that what you get is an apology jump back to the day we met i never thought that it would end this way if ever i let you down i want to ask of you to take it down a notch and we can talk it on through
