Am
Wrestling the days
C
since the staff crept away,
Em
sorta sleeping awake
Am
and just WAITING, waiting,
D
I'm just going to wait
Dm
‘til they say it's okay
G7
to ring that bell again.
Am
You see, hook line and SINKER,
C
I'm in for the ride,
Em
got my eye on the prize
Am
and I know if I show that
D
I'm willing to try
Dm
to do it their way –
G7
I know what you'd say,
Am
you'd say I threw the family
C
UNDER THE BUS
Em
as if I hoped it would CRUSH us like
Am
I don't care. I do care,
D
I swore and I swear,
Dm
I was thinking of you,
G7
always did and I do.
Am
I just see things so different,
C
I just had to try.
Em
Like the market's middle child,
Am
we're not winning or losing,
D
it's such sweet denial.
Dm
Up to the chin,
G7
but if we just buy in,
Am
we could thrive in the gutters
C
and out on the towns
Em
and we're DOUBLING DOWN
Am
‘cause we're DYING OF BOREDOM,
D
there's nothing to do.
Dm
See IF YOU HATE THE MAN,
G7
THE MAN HATES YOU TOO.
Am
Don't you think I have moments?
C
Sure, I'd love to take charge.
Em
‘Cause we all see the farce,
Am
but we don't mention, mention
D
the castle of cards.
Dm
And what's there to say?
G7
Let them eat cake?
