C     Bm     D     G   G ~ B ~ C
C     Bm     D     G   G ~ G/F# ~ Em 


[Verse]

Em                         Am
   Picture yourself in the living room
                           G
your pipe and slippers set out for you
                         Bm
I know you think that it ain't too far

       Em                    C
   But I hear the call of a lifetime ring
              C ~ D ~ G
felt the need to get up for it
                    Am
Oh, you cut out the middleman
    Bm
get free from the middleman


[Chorus]

C                         G
  You got no time for the messenger,
C                       D              G ~ B ~ C
  got no regard for the thing that you don't understand,
C                        Bm
  you got no fear of the underdog,
D
  that's why you will not survive

G C G D D G C ~ G

C   Bm   D   G  G Bm
C   Bm   D   G  G ~ G/F# ~ Em


[Verse]

Em                        C
  I want to forget how conviction fits
          D            G
but can I get out from under it?
             Bm
Can I gut it out of me?

C                G
 It can't all be wedding cake
                Am
It can't all be boiled away
                      Bm
I try but I can't let go of it
  B
I can't let go of it,


[Chorus]

C                             G
 'Cause you don't talk to the water boy
C                              D             G ~ B ~ C
 and there's so much you could learn but you don't want to know,
C                        Bm
 You will not back up an inch ever,
D
 that's why you will not survive,

G C G D D G C ~ G

C   Bm   D   G  B ~ C

C   Bm   D   G....             G ~ G/F# ~ Em


[Verse]

Em                 Am
  The thing that I tell you now
D             G              G
It may not go over well
Em                Am
And it may not be photo-op
D                 G              
in the way that I spell it out


[Chorus]

C                            Bm
 But you won't hear from the messenger,
C                           D              G ~ B ~ C   
don't wanna know 'bout something that you don't understand,
C                       Bm
You got no fear of the underdog,
D
that's why you will not survive
