Intro: A C#m7 Bm7 A

A
Hey man, the story's getting old
C#m7                                      
Big lies, they always have been told
Bm7                               A
But right now you face another man
A
This time I turn the page around
C#m7
No rhyme, no reason to be found
Bm7                              A
Why should I play the fool again
G          D                A
I keep on running in circles
G                D                 E
In a crazy human race that never ends
A                                     E
I was never taking more than I needed
D                                     A
Always standing at the end of the line
A                                E
Waiting for my turn to succeed it
D         C#m                          Bm
But it's hard to keep playing the part
                                               
When there's nothing left at all

A                                           
How come we always run for more
C#m7                                       
The rich is stealing from the poor
Bm7                            A
How come we're never satisfied
A                                               
Don't know what I?m afraid to loose
C#m7                                           
Somehow I'm not allowed to choose
Bm7                              A
God knows I've never really tried
G               D                  A
And still we're running in circles
G                  D                 E
In a crazy human race that never ends
A                                         E           
Oh, I was never taking more than I needed
D                                      A
Always standing at the end of the line
A                                 E
Waiting for my turn to succeed it
D          C#m                     Bm
But it's hard to keep playing the part

When there's nothing left at all
A

D         C#m                          Bm

D         C#m                          Bm
It's so hard to keep playing the part
D         C#m                          Bm
It's so hard to keep playing the part

                                   
When there's nothing left at all
