[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
They say you've gotta [C]lose
a [G]couple [C]fights to win
It's hard to [D]tell from
where [G]I'm sitting
They say that this is where the fun [C]begins
I guess it's [D]time that I was
quitting
[G][C]

[Verse 2]
[Em]
A slight [D]figure [G]of speech
I cut my [C]chest wide [Em]open
They come and [D]watch us [G]bleed
Is it [C]art like I was hoping now?
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
They said "I hope that
you will never [C]change"
I went and [D]cut my [G]hair
They say "Don't take your
business to [C]the big time"
I bought us [D]tickets there, oh
[G]

[Verse 4]
[Em]
A slight [D]figure [G]of speech
I cut my [C]chest wide [Em]open
They come and [D]watch us [G]bleed
Is it [C]art like I was hoping now?
[D][G]

[Verse 5]
What did you expect
And what [C]did you for[G]get
That to live you let go of [C]me
with each [G]step
It becomes a pro[C]gression I won't
let regret mani[G]fest
[C]To aggression
Are [G]you to as[C]sess what I've been?
What I am? Or be[G]come?
Did you [C]stop to accept
how pathetically [G]dumb
It can be to
At[C]tack those [G]around 'cause you're
True to color, a [C]town,
a time, or a [G]place?[C]
It's not [G]you, it's not mine
And be[C]sides it is [G]gone
And you never will find it again
But I don't want to fight
I just [C]ask let me be
I won't [G]give the [C]chance
to be my enemy
So go [G]home
Think [C]it through[G]

[Verse 6]
A jet [G]plane and a big [C]idea
I jump [D]over [G]the sea
What if's hot on my [C]trail
But they can[D]'t catch me, no
[G]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
A slight [D]figure [G]of speech
I cut my [C]chest wide [Em]open
They come and [D]watch us [G]bleed
Is it [C]art like I was hoping now?
