Chorus
Em C D
A moment of silence, please, for those who never get the chance
Em C D
They show up to the party, but they're never asked to dance
Em C D
The losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves
Em C B
The cynicists, the pessimists, and those that don't believe in nothing
Horn Riff

Verse
Em C D Em
I never met a loser that I didn't see eye-to-eye with, I declare
C D
I stare into your eyes
Em C D
But you look right past me into the air
Em C D
What's it like to stand in your shoes?
Em C B
To have never felt the belt of somebody's abuse?
Em C D
I take the bottle and I tip it for all my heroes that have passed
Em C D
Alas, you have left us, but your stories they will last
Em C D
Uninspired by the recruiting call
Em
Independent we stand
Em C B
Independent we fall

Prechorus Verse
Em C G
So tell me how long do you think you can go before you lose it all?
D
Before they call you bluff and watch you fall?
Em C
I don't know, but I'd like to think I had control
G D
At some point, but I let it go and lost my soul
Em C
Sit tight, but the revolution's years away
G D
I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say
Em C
So, I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate
G D
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite
Em C G D
Oh! To have died that night, I realized it wouldn't last
Em C
Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass
G D
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed
Em C G D
Oh! To the west, you don't know what it is you're running from
Em C
And everybody's laughing loud
G D
Last chance to make your mother and your father proud
Em C D Em C D Em C D Em C B
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Em C D Em C D Em C D Em C B
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Verse
Em C D
They said "a pox, upon your house, upon your family
Em C D
And everyone you knew, and everyone you'll ever meet"
Em C D
I bet they think we wish we joined when we could
Em C B
But we do what we want, we don't do what we should
Em C D
Now, everybody's laughing, 'cause they're thinking they're
in on something I don't get
Em
Don't forget
C D
I connect and I read every word you said
Em C D
Like a child who believes he was wronged
Em C B
If you hate me so much, then stop singing my songs
Sax Solo
