[Intro]
C G F Am F C G G

[Verse 1]
C G F Am
If you've been kicked in or abused or mistreated or misused.
F C G
You were told there was nowhere to go but up for you.
C G
If you've been hurt or you've been betrayed.
F Am
If you've been fucked or you've been displaced.
F C G
Then you were told it's probably been your fault anyway.
Dm G
But your Hustler subscription or your Xanax prescription
C Em Am
Make you feel lonelier instead.
Dm G
You don't want to hear about all the starving children.
C Em Am
You don't want to be told it's all in your head.
Dm G C
Cus if it's all in your head, that's terrible.
[Verse 2]
C G F Am
I saw a junkie laying in a puddle of his own blood last week,
F C G
I saw a cyclist get hit by a car.
G G
I saw a homeless guy chug a bottle of mouthwash on Christmas eve.
F C G
No, you can never fall too far.
Dm G
You can by a Salad Glove and you can by an iPod.
C Em
And you can sell that shit to Bookmans
Am Em
When your wife dies and you lose your job.
Dm G
You can hope it gets better and you can follow your dreams
C Em
But hope is for presidents and
Am Em Dm G C
Dreams are for people who are sleeping.

[Verse 3]
C G F Am
My friend Erin says it best, "we're all two or three bad decisions away
F C G
From becoming the ones we fear and pity"
G G
And Tony says it's important to bear some witness when you can
F C Am
And that's not hard to do in the city that I live in.
Dm (1x)
You don't have it any better
G (1x)
And you don't have it any worse.
C (6x) Em (6x)
You're an irreplaceable human soul
Am (6x)
With your own understanding of
Em (6x) Dm (1x) G (1x)
What it means to suffer.
And that's a hu-u-u-u-uge
C
Bummer.
