C        Am     F                       C
I'm thirsty for good old-fashioned brawl
C              Am              F              G7
There are many voices that are never heard at all
G9            C              F            G7
Mozart died a pauper, but he didn't go in vain
     G9            C                F              C
Take solace in his knowledge of the cusp & the wane

C      Am       F                   C
Hard living may steal the best of me
     C          Am        F                G7
I've burned the candle as bright as it can be
G9                C             F               G7
William Blake was ridiculed & seldom used his name
G9                 C                 F              C
He forced his part untroubled by the cusp & the wane

      Am              Em            F                   C
Let's hear it for the underdogs who skipped the hall of fame
Am                     E7            C7               Fm
One more cheer for the underdogs who never played the game

Sweet madness, it never felt so true
C                   Am         F                 G7
Living bored of lightning that sparks out of the blue

You have always loved me, even when I've been insane

Thanks for riding with me on the cusp & the wane
