[Intro 1]
[G][Gsus2][D][G][Gsus2][D][G][Gsus2][D][G][Gsus2][D]
[Bm][D]
[Bm]There's

[Verse 1]
[G]
nothing [Gsus2]worse than being told that [Asus4]what you have is worthless
[D]It [Gsus2]makes you feel like everything you've
done is [D]without [Gsus2]certainty
Call forth the first [Asus4]mate,
tell them that the [Gsus2]sails have been set[G] the[Gsus2] wrong wa[Bm]y[A][Asus4]

[Verse 2]
[G]Blame al[Gsus2]ways falls on somebody[Asus4] else,
other than the [G]per[Gsus2]son that set the sails[Asus4][D][Gsus2]
It's an age- [G]old mis[Asus4]take
(It's an age- [G]old[Gsus2]
[G]mis[Gsus2]take)[Bm]
It's [A]an age- old [G]mistake
[Gsus2][D][G][D][Gsus2][G][Gsus2][G][Gsus2][D][G][Gsus2][D]

[Verse 3]
Some[G]times
you have to question the [Bm]fact that de[A]cisions [Asus4]you made[Bm]
Were never destined to [D]be
the right one
[Asus4]A situation dire,
the [Gsus2]ropes tha[D]t you[G] cli[D]ng to [A]life bro[G]ke
[Bm]So drowning's a me[Asus4]ans to e[G]scap[Gsus2]e

[Verse 4]
You still refuse to taper [Bm]off (?) to any[Asus4]thing
that's too [G]much for you [Gsus2]to handle
[Bm]Must have been on a [Asus4]gamble
[A]I'll tel[G]l you right now[Gsus2],
light a [Bm]candle in our [D]name
If [Gsus2]the ship goes down,
I'll cel[Bm]ebrate [Asus4]the same
[G]Where was doubt [Gsus2]when all of this was
[Bm]nothing more than [A]bullshit?
[Gsus2]Where was fear when all of this was
[Bm]nothing more than [Asus4]fun?
We [G]fought [Gsus2]our way for nothing,
to [Bm]making just the [D]best of it
[Gsus2]Stress (?) irrelev[G] an[Gsus2]ce,
to [Bm]do what we have [A]done
[G]It's okay [Gsus2]to admit that we hav[Bm]e done better[A]
[Asus4]than what[G] they[Gsus2] thought that we coul[Bm]d scrape up
[A]It's a s[G]hame to [Gsus2]think that eve[G]n tho[Gsus2]ugh
[G]"the [Bm]best" is a sub[D]jective term
[G]People [Gsus2]hold you to a standard [G]with[Bm]out under
[A]standing [D]it's [G]fuc[Gsus2]ked[G][Bm][D][A]
[D]I'll tell you right [A]now,
light a [D]candle [Bm]in my n[G]ame[Bm]
If [G]the ship [D]goes down,
I'll cel[A]ebrate the shame

[Verse 5]
[G]Where was doubt when all of this
[Bm]was nothing more than [A]bullshit?
[G]Where was fear when all of this
was [Bm]nothing more than [A]fun?
[G]We fought our way for nothing,
[Gsus2]to making[Bm] just the best o[A]f it[G]
Stress (?) irrelevance
[D]Do [Bm]what we have done[A]
It's a [G]shame to think that even though
"the [Bm]best" is sub[A]jective
You're [Gsus2]held to a st[G]andard
without [D]under[A]standing
It's a [G]shame to think that even though
"the [Bm]best" is sub[A]jective
You're [G]held to [Gsus2]a standard [Bm]without
[A]understanding [G]it's fucked
