Intro
Ab A#
[Verse 1]
Cm Fm Gm* A*
You’ve got no vision for the long run
A# Ab Bb* C*
You’ve got no sense of history
Cm Fm Gm* A*
You’ve got the world at your fingertips
A# Ab A*
And now you have it crumblin'
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Fm A#
But if you look back far enough
D# Ab
And find the place you started
Fm A#
Before you held a grudge
D# C
Or the highest office
Fm A#
You do nothing every year
D# Ab
But you're showin' up on the red carpet...
[Chorus]
Fm

Cm Bb* C* Fm
I said “Give it to me straight!” - (Things are crooked)
Gm* Dm* A# Gm* Dm* Ab Bb* C*
I said “Who’s sticking around?” - (For all the heavy lifting?)
Cm Bb* C*
You ain’t no robin hood -(No)
Fm Gm* Dm*
Never been in this neighbourhood -(No)
A# Ab
Thought you said this would be easy
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Fm A#
But I can smell it on ya
D# Ab
You’re some aristocrat
Fm A#
I said “It takes a village”
D# C
And you can’t handle that
Fm A#
Well I already know
D# Ab
How the history books will react
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Cm
Now here’s the official statement:
Cm/A#
We’re street fighting on the pavement
Cm/Ab
I’m going dancing like I’m raving
Cm/G
There’s no service in the basement
Cm/F
Now I don’t mean to sound impatient
Cm/D#
But I’ve seen the flag you’re waving
Cm/D
And I can see through all this fake shit
Cm/G
This highest office’s sitting vacant
[Pre-Chorus 3]
FM A#
But if you look back far enough
D# Ab
And find the place you started
Fm A#
I promise you no charlatan
D# C
Has ever died a martyr
Fm A#
You do nothing every year
D# Ab
But showing up on the red carpet
[Chorus]
