           Dm                   A#           F
A moment of silence, please, for those who never get the chance

Dm                           A#              F
They show up to the party, but they're never asked to dance

Dm                                A#        F
The losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves

Dm                                            A#                 A
The cynicists, the pessimists, and those that don't believe in nothing

Verse

Dm                  A#                      F               Dm  
I never met a loser that I didn't see eye-to-eye with, I declare

A#              F
I stare into your eyes

Dm             A#                 F
But you look right past me into the air

Dm             A#                F
What's it like to stand in your shoes?

Dm                          A#             A
To have never felt the belt of somebody's abuse?

Dm                    A#                          F
I take the bottle and I tip it for all my heroes that have passed
 
Dm                        A#              F
Alas, you have left us, but your stories they will last

Dm                 A#         F
Uninspired by the recruiting call

              Dm
Independent we stand

Dm  A#  A
Independent we fall

Prechorus Verse

 Dm                         A#                           F
So tell me how long do you think you can go before you lose it all?

F
Before they call you bluff and watch you fall?

Dm            A#
I don't know, but I'd like to think I had control

F              F
At some point, but I let it go and lost my soul

           Dm                     A#
Sit tight, but the revolution's years away

F                            F
I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say

Dm                      A#
So, I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate

F                            F
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite

         Dm           A#          F              F
Oh! To have died that night, I realized it wouldn't last

Dm                        A#
Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass

 F                        F
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed

Dm     A#           F                        F                  
Oh! To the west, you don't know what it is you're running from

Dm                A#
And everybody's laughing loud

F                                                 F
Last chance to make your mother and your father proud

Dm  A#   F   Dm  A#  F  Dm A#  F    Dm     A#  A  
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Dm  A#   F   Dm  A#  F  Dm A#  F    Dm     A#  A  
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Dm                                            A#                 A

Verse

            Dm               A#                F
They said "a pox, upon your house, upon your family 

      Dm                A#                F
And everyone you knew, and everyone you'll ever meet"

   Dm                    A#               F
I bet they think we wish we joined when we could

Dm                          A#        A
But we do what we want, we don't do what we should

Dm    A#                      F
Now, everybody's laughing, 'cause they're thinking they're


in on something I don't get

Dm
Don't forget

A#             F
I connect and I read every word you said

Dm               A#            F
Like a child who believes he was wronged

Dm                           A#     A
If you hate me so much, then stop singing my songs
