E                E
She was raised a Protestant
A               E
I was raised by wolves
C#m             B          E    A
Both of us saw dignity in vain
E                     E
The stretching out in paradise
A                E
It wasn't in the cards
C#m                     B             E   A
See, neither of us were ready for the rain

B
Guess I was caught off-guard
       C#m
When I heard the news last week
B
Ran into a friend of mine
         C#m
With the word on the street


E                               E
That the life that you chose to lead
           A       E
Had the desired effect
         C#m            B
That you hit the ground running
    E            A
The day that you left
            E                 E
That you're playing for every side
            A               E
That you're going for every kill
    C#m       B
But I don't believe it
    E       A
And I never will
E
Never will

C#m B E A

E              E
Maybe it's all dogs and bones
A             E
Chasing every tail
    C#m              B              E    A 
And howling at the injustice of the night
    B       B
And if I misjudged you
      C#m              C#m
Well, honey, that's on me
      A                  A
But I really do hope you found a way
   A            A
To get what you need



E                               E
And the life that you chose to lead
           A       E
Had the desired effect
         C#m            B
That you hit the ground running
    E            A
The day that you left
            E                 E
That you're playing for every side
            A               E
That you're going for every kill
    C#m       B
But I don't believe it
    E       A
And I never will

Are you wondering where it all goes?

Are you taking the time to listen?
      E             E
Is it doing you any good?
        B                 B
Are you wresting with the demons?
        A                A 
Are you moving the party forward
        E
In your time?


        E                     E
Are you looking to change the world?
            E                    E
Or have you already changed your mind?
        A               A
Are you keeping the Ten Commandments

Or are you leaving 'em all behind?
        B               B
Are you practicing your pirouettes?
           A            A               
Or are you going in the line this time?

The day that you left?
        B                 B
Are you playing for every side?
