verse 1:
Bm G
I was born in that summer when the sun didn't shine
D F#m
I was given a name that doesn't feel like it's mine
Bm G
Lived my life as the good boy I was told I should be
D F#m
Prayed every night to a religion that was chosen for me
Pre-Chorus
Bm G
Sold my soul, broke my bones, Tell me, what did I get?
D F#m
Did my time, toed the line, Ain't seen anything yet
Bm G
Strike me down to the ground, You know I've seen it before
D F#m
Make it hurt, I'll eat the dirt, I just don't care anymore
Bm G
How could you break my heart? Already played my part
D F#m
I kept my promise man, Show me the promiseland
Bm G
Don't occupy my throne, Give me the crown I own
D F#m
Lived like you told me how, Look at me now
G
I've got no money in my pocket
F#
And the whole world's bringing me down

And the whole world's bringing me down.

If I've never seen the good, how can it come to an end?
