CHORUS: I guess this would be called staccato
E G A D E C G D E
try sit there and whine about your decline
G D C B E
I think its a pathetic sort of life you choose
G A D E C G D E G D
methods abused solutions refused good for you
C B E
but someday you will lose your life
G D E
without even giving it a try
G D E
depression's the only thing you'll find
C G D
give it a chance before you die
C B E
just got one day to get a life
VERSE 2: same chords
everyday procrastinate you won't get very far
listen to religion try and tell you who you are
marionettes on tv sets parade across your screen
don't know what it all means
think there is no point in trying to get up each day
when problems that confound you only speed your slow decay
future's relegated to a bland pathetic waste
can't find a better way but you don't
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
E F#-Gii-D C B D (repeat)
E F# - Gii - D
know you'll never make it you don't even want to try
C B D
waiting for the day when you can curl up and die
E F# - Gii - D
no one's gonna listen no one's out to get you
C B D E
blame anyone you want you get the life you choose
C D
so when're you gonna get a clue
E C D
the world's not gonna wait for you
E C G D C B
only you can make it all come true
VERSE 3: same chords
a never ending struggle but one day you see the light
may not think you'll make it but
won't give up without a fight
recline to aspirations of what you think is right
fight on with all your might but you don't
repeat CHORUS and that's it
