Trying to be a better person 
C          F             G             C 
Hindsights twenty and my visibility is worsening 

        Am           Em 
All the acolytes are chokin 
        Am             Em 
But my faith in life's unbroken

Want leave this room better than I found it 
        C         F            G               C 
Love my name when I feel like I really couldnt give a shit 

        Am             Em 
All the hypocrites are chokin 
         Am                   Em 
On their blind faith far from broken 

          C 
There's a train wreck 
         F     G 
Picking up survivors 
         C 
from a plane crash 
       F   G 
on the TV life 
           Em          Am 
And it's a sad, status quotient 
        Em 
Waiting for the sky to fall

             C         F             G                   C 
Ill turn the sweatshop corner til my part to execute and sleep in town 

        Am           Em 
All the acolytes are chokin 
          Am                   Em 
All their blind faith far from broken 


          C 
There's a train wreck

Picking up survivors 
         C 
from a plane crash 
       F   G 
on the TV life 
           Em          Am 
And it's a sad, status quotient 
        Em 
Waiting for the sky to fall 


My clouded love I thought Id settle down 
Wandering through like a head of touchy silly cattle 
Cruelest joke 
My ancient thoughts feel new 

        Am           Em 
All the acolytes are chokin 
         Am          Em 
On their blind faith far from broken 

          C 
There's a train wreck 
         F     G 
Picking up survivors 
         C 
from a plane crash 
       F   G 
on the TV life 
           Em          Am 
And it's a sad, status quotient 
       Em          Am 
It's a sad, status quotient 
       Em          Am 
It's a sad, status quotient 
        Em                   C F G F C
