Intro:

G D C D (3x) 
G D C D4 D Dsus2 D 

G               D                        Am 
 I'd hand it to time if I knew where the time had gone 
           C                Em 
the connoisseurs were wrong 
                    Am 
and so was everyone else 

I know what they're saying cuz that's all they talk about 
just need to figure out 
some shit for myself 

D                                               Am 
 and just because it's obvious doesn't mean it's even true 
D                                                  Am  
 heard it all and I believe that we deserve another point of view 

                     G 
we can make it if we try 
          D                         Am 
and if we don't it's gonna still be alright 
        G         D      Am 
cuz our minds are still alive 
             G   D  Am D 
and we can decide why 

G D C D 2x 

make up your mind make up your own mythology 
afraid of finding me 
and of defining you 

take what you want but you won't want it where your at 
I know this for a fact 
just because it's so true 

the first place my mind goes is where I never want it to 
like where it hurts the most or all the stupid shit I say and do 

you can make it if you try 
and if you don' it's gonna still be all right 
cuz our minds are still alive 
and we can decide what's right 

Am                                    G           D 
 telling me thousands of times what's next to want 
just doing their job but you know that's a dirty job 
can't stand this game still we're bullied to play along 

Bm                 C           G 
 when bullies grow up they get meaner 
                        A 
yeah they really get it down 
oh yeah 

they think that they get it but they always get it wrong 
they'll play your favorite song 
just to sell shit to you 

I've heard that they'll sell anything and I think they might 
I think Bill Hicks was right 
about what they should do 

and just because you love something doesn't mean it's yours to buy 
been selling it so long that no one even knows the reason why 
you've been messing with our minds 
gettin' rich wasting our time
