Toh Kay A Moment Of Silence
Capo 4th
Chorus
Em C D
A moment of silence, please, for those who never get the chance
Em C D
They show up to the party, but they're never asked to dance
Em C D
The losers and the liars and the bastards and the thieves
Em C D
The cynicists, yeah the pessimists, and those that don't believe in nothing
Em C D
Verse
Em C D
I never met a loser that I didn't see eye-to-eye with,
Em C D
I declare , I stare into your eyes but you look right past me into the air
Em C D
What's it like to stand in your shoes?
Em C D
To have never felt the belt of somebody's abuse?
Em C D Em
I take the bottle and I tip it for all my heroes that have passed
C D Em
At last, you have left us, but your stories they will last
C D
Uninspired by the recruiting call
Em C B
Independent we stand, independent we fall

Prechorus Verse
Em C G
So tell me how long do you think you can go before you lose it all?
D Em
Before they call your bluff and watch you fall?
C G
I don't know, but I'd like to think I had control
D Em
At some point, but I let it go and lost my soul
C G
Sit tight, but the revolution's years away
D Em
I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say
C G
So, I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate
D Em
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite
C G D Em
Oh! To have died that night, I realized it wouldn't last
C G
Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass
D Em
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed
C G D Em
Oh! To the west, you don't know what it is you're running from
C G
And everybody's laughing loud
D
Last chance to make your mother and your father proud
Em C D Em C D Em C D Em C B
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Chorus
Verse
Em C D
They said "a pox, upon your house, upon your family
Em C D
And everyone you ever knew, and everyone you'll ever meet"
Em C D
I bet they think we wish we joined when we could
Em C D
But we do what we want and we don't do what we should, yeah
Em C D Em
Everybody's laughing, yeah they're thinking they're in on something I don't get
C D Em
Don't forget, I connect and I read every word you said
C D
Like a child who believes he was wronged
Em C B
If you hate me so much, then stop singing my songs
Prechorus Verse
END
