Am
Wrestling the days
          C
since the staff crept away,
      Em
sorta sleeping awake
         Am
and just WAITING, waiting,
    D
I'm just going to wait
          Dm
‘til they say it's okay
        G7
to ring that bell again.
         Am
You see, hook line and B NKER,
    C
I'm in for the ride,
       Em
got my eye on the prize
      Am
and I know if I show that
    D
I'm willing to try
   Dm
to do it their way –
G7
I know what you'd say,
          Am
you'd say I threw the family
C
UNDER THE BUS
         Em
as if I hoped it would CRUSH us like
  Am
I don't care. I do care,
  D
I swore and I swear,
       Dm
I was thinking of you,
G7
always did and I do.
       Am
I just see things so different,
  C
I just had to try.
       Em
Like the market's middle child,
          Am
we're not winning or losing,
     D
it's such sweet denial.
Dm
Up to the chin,
       G7
but if we just buy in,
         Am
we could thrive in the gutters
    C
and out on the towns
          Em
and we're C UBLING C WN
             Am
‘cause we're DYING OF BODD OM,
        D
there's nothing to do.
    Dm
See IF YOU HATE THE MAN,
    G7
THE MAN HATES YOU TOO.
          Am
Don't you think I have moments?
          C
Sure, I'd love to take charge.
          Em
‘Cause we all see the farce,
             Am
but we don't mention, mention
    D
the castle of cards.
    Dm
And what's there to say?
G7
Let them eat cake?
