D 
Sam, the weak accomplice 
Em 
He knew he had a choice 
D 
He always startled easily 
Em 
With the sound of ever voice 

D 
A pocket full of excess 
Em 
They take and take and take 
D 
Left him with a trigger pointed 
Em 
Staring at his shakes 

D 
And it goes on 
Asus2 
And it goes on 

D 
She was given nothing 
Em 
But their selfish lack 
D 
They sleep with one eye open 
Em 
'Cause they know she's coming back 

D 
But she will wait her turn 
Em 
Absent from concern 
D 
The furnace inside her 
Em 
It burns and burns and burns 

D 
And it goes on 
Asus2 
And it goes on 

Em              D 
Weaklings never practice 
          Am 
What they preach 
                  C 
They cower down below 
                            Em 
That's what you call defeat 
                     D 
And in their darkest hour 
             Am 
It's hard to breathe 
                            C 
We try to catch up with the world 
But we're so far out of reach 
                    D          Em 
We're so far out of reach 

D 
Leaning in the dark 
Em 
Stands this faked man 
D 
Slicing her with is words 
Em 
Always grabbing her with his hands 

D 
And it goes on 
Asus2 
And it goes on 

Em              D 
Weaklings never practice 
          Am 
What they preach 
                  C 
They cower down below 
                            Em 
That's what you call defeat 
                     D 
And in their darkest hour 
             Am 
It's hard to breathe 
                            C 
We try to catch up with the world 
                        Em 
But we're so far out of reach 

( Em  D  Am  C ) 
( Em  D  Am  C ) 

D 
I wish I had warned you 
Em 
Of this broken path 
D 
With each step you take 
Em 
You know there's no turning back 

Em              D 
Weaklings never practice 
          Am 
What they preach 
                  C 
They cower down below 
                            Em 
That's what you call defeat 
                     D 
And in their darkest hour 
             Am 
It's hard to breathe 
                            C 
We try to catch up with the world 
                        Em 
But we're so far out of reach 

                            D 
We try to catch up with the world 
                            Am 
We try to catch up with the world 
                            C 
We try to catch up with the world 
                        Em 
But we're so far out of reach 

                            D 
We try to catch up with the world 
                            Am 
We try to catch up with the world 
                            C 
We try to catch up with the world 
                        Em 
But we're so far out of reach
