             G                    G*And it's the story of the dad who decides to chase his dream
            G                           G*He quits his job, he falls apart and he loses everything
             G                        G*And it's the story of the kid who who just wants to make a record
          A                          N.C.Loves and crafts it but nobody ever, ever cares about it (well)


[Chorus]

G                                 G*We should sit in silence while we think of what to say, hey
G                       G*Hey, hey, I don't think this is working out

[Bridge 1]
CI'm afraid of everything staying the same or worsening
   CSo what's the point of finding calm, when calm to me is unsettling?
CSettle down, little kid, your bones are shaking in your skin
F                                    F#Go and try and take a breath, though nothing more, nothing less (it's a, it's a, it's a)


[Verse 2]

           G                            G*Except for citizens who didn't want his head up on a wall
         G                    G*It's the typical story of the wife who couldn't quit
F                         F#Being in love with such a giant piece of shit
         N.C.         G                  G*It's the story of the queen who could never ever think
   G                         G*Of any redeeming qualities a man could ever bring
         G                    G*It's the story of the dog who wanted to run away
        A                            F              F#'Til he learned that his life is way safer inside a cage


[Bridge 2]
BbI don't really need much
Bb                   AmJust a place to be alone and you won't really see much
BbI think that I'm invisible, my mirror shows another guy
Bb                   AmA guy doesn't do shit, he just sits in his miserable


[Pre-chorus]
GEverybody's gotta live a life
GThat they didn't ask for
