(Am	C	F) 

So this is the end of the story 
Everything we had, everything we did 
Is buried in dust 
And this dust is all that's left of us 
And only a few ever worried 

While the signs will clear 
They have no idea 
You just get used to living in fear 
Or give up 
When you can't even picture your future 

(Em	D) 

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open 

(Am	C	F )

(G	F)

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open 
(We walk the plank with our eyes wide open) 
And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open 
(We walk the plank with our eyes wide open) 

(Am	C	F) 

Some people laugh at our bedsores 
We made out like we heard 
They were only words 
They didn't add up 
To a change in the way we were living 
And the saddest thing 
Is all of it could have been avoided 

But it was like to stop consuming is to stop being human 
And why'd I make a change if you won't? 
We're all in the same boat 
Staying afloat for the moment 

(G	F) 

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open 
(We walk the plank with our eyes wide open) 
And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open 
(We walk the plank with our eyes wide open) 

(Am	C	F) 

With our eyes wide open we 
We walk the plank; we walk the plank 
So that is the end of the story
