E                G  D             Bm  C     D      E
First off........I  refuse.....to let you...get to me
    E           G   D               Bm  C        D    E
Now secondly....I'm amused..at your desperation, frankly
Em        G            D                 C               G       D
Oh man in eagar times, it's your ego and my hide and you slither slide
          Em                        G
You can't eat what you can't catch
         D                             C
You just stare you're such a cold fish  
          E                                   G
You might think that you have  won, but we've only just begun
         D                             E
And I'll always be a step ahead...Yeah
    E          G  D     Bm  C                         D       E

And furthermore....................... what now we're keeping score

    E            G        D       
And lastly... it must get taxing, ah 
Bm        C    
trying to surpass me,
     D         E
your wings get waxy
Em           G               D                          C      
Hot damn, I do what I can, I focus on the things that I like

  G      D
I let it slide
          Em                       G
You can't eat what you can't catch
         D                             C
You just stare you're such a cold fish  
          E                                   G
You might think that you have  won, but we've only just begun
     
         D                             
And I'll always be a step ahead...Yeah
          Em                           G
You can't rely on what you don't have
           D                       C
You're all style and no success.........and well
    E                        G
You got it backwards and you don't care who you hurt
         D
You're a poser and a problem

Bridge
E (strummed throughout the bridge)
We are born and raised in a heartbeat 
If it's lonely and down, would you stick with me
And I hitch my ride, into the rising sun

Em                G                  D                               C     
I thank God, that I've been alive to get up and do something with my life

        G       D
I'm not backing down
D
nooooo,noooo 
     
          Em                       G
You can't eat what you can't catch
         D                             C
You just stare you're such a cold fish  
          E                                   G

          Em                          G
You can't rely on what you don't have
           D                       C
You're all style and no success,       well
   
    E                        G
You got it backwards and you don't care who you hurt
