C# G# D#m
We labor in obscurity, but
C# C# F# F#
Never in vain
C# G# D#m
Play our hearts out in these dirty little bars, but
C# C# F# F#
Never in vain
C# G# D#m
Now we're sleepwalking through the soundcheck
C# C# F# F#
Turn 'em all up to 10
C# G# D#m
I'm wondering if tonight we'll make it
C# C# F#
Fly again, I...
[Chorus 1]
D#m C#
Love this ghost we're chasing
D#m C#
Patterns we keep tracing
F#
Scattered and strange
D#m D#m
Never in vain
[Verse 2]
C# G# D#m
It's like screaming in a deaf ear sometimes, but
C# C# F# F#
Never in vain
C# G# D#m
Unspendable riches and secret fame
C# C# F# F#
Never in vain
C# G# D#m
If the van breaks down tomorrow
C# C# F# F#
Just more of the same
C# G# D#m
We'll beg and steal and borrow
C# C# F#
And make it fly again, I...
[Chorus 2]
D#m C#
Love this ghost we're chasing
D#m C#
Patterns we keep tracing
F#
Scattered and strange
D#m D#m
Never in vain
[Bridge]
Fm F#
I do admit it's hurting my feeliings
C# G#
We're going broke while everybody's stealing
Fm F#
But we made a new friend gonna let us all
G# F# Fm D#m
Spend the night... never in
