A   F#m   D   A   E

A                   F#m
Your help is on the way
      D        A               E
just sing yourself a song and wait
A                           F#m
nothing was promised in the first place
           D             A              E
but we?ll suffer for as long as we can take
         Bm             F#m            E
then the suffering, one way or the other
             A
it will go away

A   F#m   D   A   E

A                  F#m
it's quiet and you wake
     D                A              E
you make the bed for two you always make
             A                             F#m
though half empty from some days before he lay down on the kitchen floor
       D                     A              E
you struggled but you could not afford the weight
          Bm              F#m                        E
and in a senseless moment everything you're working toward
            A        E
was taken away

        A
so you sold everything you didn't want
    F#m
you sold everything you didn't want
       Bm                  F#m              E
oh you sold everything you didn't want saved
         A
and you sold everything you didn't want
        F#m
And you sold everything you didn't want
     Bm               F#m               E
and what you couldn't sell you gave away
              D            A             E
now you've a few years left give or take
                      A
and I think I should say

A                 F#m
as long as you're waiting
Bm     F#m         E
as long as you're waiting
A               F#m
since you have nothing to do with your hands
Bm   F#m           E
you might as well pray
        Bm            F#m           E
I am no god-fearing man but I am afraid
                                     A
of something that I cannot quite explain

A   F#m   D   A   E
Oh hi-ho hi-ho hi-ho hi-ho (etc.)

       A
so you sold everything you didn't want
    F#m
you sold everything you didn't want
       Bm                  F#m              E   F#m   E
oh you sold everything you didn't want saved
E|---------------------------------------------|
Bm                             F#m
this marks a vulnerable part of me
                      F#m
I guess it runs in my family
Bm                    F#m   E
I guess it runs in my family
Bm                       F#m
passing the fire down to me
                    F#m
I only fear for my family
Bm         F#m     E
I've got it in me

F#m                       E
I wanna live but I don't wanna live (x3)
C#m                               E
this thing is out there I don't know where it is
F#m                       E
I wanna live but I don't wanna live (x3)
C#m                               E
this thing is out there I don't know where it is

Bm              F#m                        E
I'm waving the white flag, the fire's ceased
                 Bm
I don't want any enemies
Bm                                A         E
so why they still digging their claws in me
