[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
Or you've been fucked or you've been displaced.
F                      C                 G   G7
You were told it was probably your fault anyway.

          Dm                           G
But your Hustler subscription or your Xanax prescription
C              E7          Am
Make you feel lonelier instead.
Dm                                              G
You don't want to hear about all those starving children.
C                     E7                    Am   G
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.
         C                   G           F                   Am      
I saw a homeless guy chug a bottle of mouthwash on Christmas eve.
F                  C        G  G7
No, you can never fall too far.

Dm                       G
You can buy a Salad Glove and you can buy an iPod.
             C                 E7      
And you can sell that shit to Bookmans 
           Am                G
When your wife dies and you lose your job.
Dm                          G
You can hope it gets better, you can follow your dreams
     C            E7           
But hope is for presidents and 
  Am            G              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"
    C                           G          F               Am
And Tony says it's important to bear some witness when you can
F                                C            G   G7
And that's not hard to do in the city that I live in.


Dm*
You don't have it any better 
G*
And you don't have it any worse.
                C       E7
You're an irreplaceable human soul 
          Am
With your own understanding of 
G                Dm*     G*
What it means to suffer.

And that's a hu-u-u-u-uge
 C
Bummer.
