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 B NKER,
    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 C UBLING C WN 
             Am
‘cause we're DYING OF BODD OM,
        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?
