[Verse 1]
[D]In[F5][Bb5][D][A]
[D][F][Bb5][G5][A]
[D]this world of hate [F]and shallowness
Where en[Bb5]emies [G5]become
your con[A]solation[D][A]
[D]And those of us [F]who win [F5]the game
[F]Give up [Bb5]their minds,
[G5]I don't call tha[A]t winning[D][A]
[D]Say this doesn't app[F]ly to you
But ask [Bb5]yourself [G5]first
What have [A]I done today
to win the game
And just what have I sacrificed
[C#]Win [B5]the battle or lose

[Verse 2]
the war
[D]I know I've played the game
before
[A]When people were still real
[E]I don[B5]'t want this anymore
[D]It's time for me to close
the door
[A]There's nothing left to [E]feel
[D][F][Bb5][Gm][G5][A][D][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]Reflect on all our[F] yesterdays
My own [Bb5]word s choke m[G5]e
Why were they [A]spoken[D][A]
[D]Regret for things I'v[F]e said
and done
Just can't [Bb5]compare [G5]with
Regret [A]for those that I
have never [D]tried[A]
[D]So blame this world [F]or blame
yourself
It's really [Bb5]all the sa[G5]me
When you [A]are standing on
that precipice

[Verse 4]
From which you just cannot return
[C#]Win [B5]the battle or lose the w[B]ar
[D]I know I've played the game
before
[A]When people were still real
[E]I don[B]'t want thi[B5]s anymore
[D]It's time for me to close
the door
[A]There's nothing left to [E]feel

[Verse 5]
[C5]for gotten m[Cm]en,
[Eb]I look to my [Bb]horizon
[Bb5]I see [Bb]nothing[D]
[F]While thoughts of guns [C5]and de
[Cm]secra[Eb]tion
Sweep through [Bb]my mind,
[Bb5]but only [D]coffins and bones [Eb]remain[D]
As [F]I look to you,
[Cm]the emptiness [Eb]be hind your eyes
[Bb5]Seals my de[D]cision
Can't carry [Eb]on in a [D]world of jugglers
Where [Eb]all this [F]thoughtlessness
And [Cm]bludgeonings your [Eb]key to success
What [Bb5]kind of trad[D]ition to carry o[Eb]n

[Verse 8]
High- tech dog- eat- dog existence
Win [B5]the battle or lose the war
