[Intro] G  G  D
        C  Bm  D  G  D

Em                   Am
   Picture yourself in the living room
                 G
Your pipe and slippers set out for you
               Bm
I know you think that it ain't too far
Em                     C
   But I hear the call of a lifetime ring
      C   D     G
Felt the need to get up for it
            Am
Oh, you cut out the middleman
  Bm
Get free from the middleman
C                G
  You got no time for the messenger
C               D           G
  Got no regard for the thing that you don't understand
C                Bm
  You got no fear of the underdog
D
  That's why you will not survive
    
Em                  C
  I want to forget how conviction fits
      D         G
But can I get out from under it?
        Bm
Can I gut it out of me?
C             G
 It can't all be wedding cake
            Am
It can't all be boiled away
               Bm
I try but I can't let go of it
  Bm
I can't let go of it
C                   G
 'Cause you don't talk to the water boy
C                   D        G
 And there's so much you could learn but you don't want to know
C                Bm
 You will not back up an inch ever
D
 That's why you will not survive

Em             Am
  The thing that I tell you now
D         G         G D
It may not go over well
Em          Am
And it may not be photo op
D           G            G  D
In the way that I spell it out
C                 Bm
 But you won't hear from the messenger
 
( C  Bm  G  D )

C
 Don't wanna know 'bout something that you don't understand
              Bm
You got no fear of the underdog
D
 That's why you will not survive
