Dm Dm A# A# F F

Dm Dm A# A# A A

Chorus

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

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

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

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

Horn Riff

Dm Dm A# A# A A

Verse

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

A# A# F F
I stare into your eyes

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

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

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

Dm Dm A# A# F F
I take the bottle and I tip it for all my heroes that have passed

Dm Dm A# A# F F
Alas, you have left us, but your stories they will last

Dm Dm A# A# F F
Uninspired by the recruiting call

Dm Dm
Independent we stand

Dm Dm A# A# A A
Independent we fall

Trombone Solo

Dm Dm A# A# F F

Dm Dm A# A# F F

Prechorus Verse

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

F F
Before they call you bluff and watch you fall?

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

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

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

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

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

F F F F
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite

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

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

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

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

Dm Dm A# A#
And everybody's laughing loud

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

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

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

Chorus

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

Dm Dm A# A# F F

Verse

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

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

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

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

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


in on something I don't get

Dm Dm
Don't forget

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

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

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

Sax Solo

Dm Dm A# A# F F
