[Verse]
A                              C#7
You're strong, you're stubborn now
      D                A
In an endless symbolic war
         F#            Dm
Brave or bored, either/or

A-Am-A-Am

[Verse]
A                     C#7
Sometimes I ricochet from the past
       D                   A
And at times a future I've already had before
F#           Dm
Champion or chore, either/or

A-Am-A-Am

[Bridge]
     E         D     A       E    [Riff A; Below]      D     
I'll write the pages you rip out, back in their places again
E              D                A        E
One day you'll know what you're talking about
      Bm      F#m         G     D
I can hardly imagine, but until then I'll be

A                C#7                D
Filling in these blanks that you create
               A              F#
Every time you win some petty score
          Dm                       A
Posing as hardcore, oh yeah, either/or

[Solo]

[Bridge]
E           D           A            E
Look at the spin chief, battered and broken
[Riff A]            D
Clutching a plastic rose
      E          D        A          E
We're all in the downpour you carry around for
Bm          F#m      G            D
Trashing a lifestyle you've never known

[Verse]
A             C#7
It's a useful dream that makes
D                     A                 F#
Quite an entertaining show and not much more
               Dm          A
Up against and for, either/or 

A-Am-A-Am-A-Am-A
