( F#  Em )  
The end of the century  
I said my goodbyes  
For what it's worth  
I always aimed to please  
But I nearly died  

For what it's worth  
Come on lay with me  
'Cause I'm on fire  
For what it's worth  
I tear the sun in three  
To light up your eyes  

         F#  
For what it's worth  
For what it's worth  

         Em  
For what it's worth  
For what it's worth  

( F#  Em )  
Broke up the family  
Everybody cried  
For what it's worth  
I have a slow disease  
That sucked me dry  

For what it's worth  
Come on walk with me  
Into the rising tide  
For what it's worth  
Filled a cavity  
Your god shaped hole tonight  

         F#  
For what it's worth  
For what it's worth  

         Em  
For what it's worth  
For what it's worth  

( F#  Em )  
No one cares when you're out on the street  
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet  
No one cares when you're down in the gutter  
Got no friends, got no lover  

         F#  
For what it's worth  
For what it's worth  

         Em  
For what it's worth  
For what it's worth
