Chorus

           Am                   F           C
A moment of silence, please, for those who never get the chance

Am                           F              C
They show up to the party, but they're never asked to dance

Am                                F        C
The losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves

Am                                            F                 E
The cynicists, the pessimists, and those that don't believe in nothing

Verse

Am                  F                      C               Am  
I never met a loser that I didn't see eye-to-eye with, I declare

F              C
I stare into your eyes

Am             F                 C
But you look right past me into the air

Am             F                C
What's it like to stand in your shoes?

Am                          F             E
To have never felt the belt of somebody's abuse?

Am                    F                          C
I take the bottle and I tip it for all my heroes that have passed
 
Am                        F              C
Alas, you have left us, but your stories they will last

Am                 F         C
Uninspired by the recruiting call

              Am
Independent we stand

Am  F  E
Independent we fall

Prechorus Verse

 Am                         F                           C
So tell me how long do you think you can go before you lose it all?

C
Before they call you bluff and watch you fall?

Am            F
I don't know, but I'd like to think I had control

C              C
At some point, but I let it go and lost my soul

           Am                     F
Sit tight, but the revolution's years away

C                            C
I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say

Am                      F
So, I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate

C                            C
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite

         Am           F          C              C
Oh! To have died that night, I realized it wouldn't last

Am                        F
Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass

 C                        C
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed

Am     F           C                        C                  
Oh! To the west, you don't know what it is you're running from

Am                F
And everybody's laughing loud

C                                                 C
Last chance to make your mother and your father proud

Am  F   C   Am  F  C  Am F  C    Am     F  E  
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Am  F   C   Am  F  C  Am F  C    Am     F  E  
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Chorus

           Am                   F           C
A moment of silence, please, for those who never get the chance

Am                           F              C
They show up to the party, but they're never asked to dance

Am                                F        C
The losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves

Am                                            F                 E
The cynicists, the pessimists, and those that don't believe in nothing

Verse

            Am               F                C
They said "a pox, upon your house, upon your family 

      Am                F                C
And everyone you knew, and everyone you'll ever meet"

   Am                    F               C
I bet they think we wish we joined when we could

Am                          F        E
But we do what we want, we don't do what we should

Am    F                      C
Now, everybody's laughing, 'cause they're thinking they're


in on something I don't get

Am
Don't forget

F             C
I connect and I read every word you said

Am               F            C
Like a child who believes he was wronged

Am                           F     E
If you hate me so much, then stop singing my songs

Sax Solo
