[Verse]
(the F G# A# is played as a triplet at the end of the measure.)
C
We have tried and failed
F
We have stumbled and fallen
F#* A* B* C
We have tried a new taste
F
And we spit it back out
F#* A* B* C
We have taken a left turn
F
When we meant to turn right
F#* A* B* C
We lost sight of our origins
F
But our past never lost sight of us
F#* A* B* E* F*
Lost sight of us
[Chorus]
(play this really quick, one strum each.)
A# G# C# F# F D# B A# G#
Not emulation - cause that's not this hard
A# G# C# F# F D# B A# G#
Not imitation - cause that won't take you far
A# G# C# F# F D# B A# G#
Not digression - cause I'm falling straight up
A# G# C# F# F D# B A# G# F# F D# B A# G# B*
It is progression - I'm not afraid to stand up
[Verse]
C
I don't know what I expected
F
But I expected to be great
F#* A* B* C
I said "I'm trying my hardest"
F
But he didn't like the tape
F#* A* B* C
Take a look at what you're doing
F
And tell me I'm too late
F#* A* B* C
You say we're walking backwards
F
Yeah, well, that dead horse sure can't run
F#* A* B* E* F*
It sure can't run
[Chorus]
A# G# C# F# F D# B A# G#
Not emulation - cause that's not this hard
A# G# C# F# F D# B A# G#
Not imitation - cause that won't take you far
A# G# C# F# F D# B A# G#
Not digression - cause I'm falling straight up
A# G# C# F# F D# B A# G# F# F D# B A# G# B*
It is progression - I'm not afraid to stand up
[Bridge]
D#m* C#*
The truth
D#m* C#*
D#m* C#*
D#m* C#*

D#m* C#*
[Outro]
C C#*
I know I can
A# B*
I know I will
G#
I know
F# F D# B A# G# A#
I know what I have to do
G#
And now you'll have to listen
C# F# F D# B A# G#
And I hope it won't hurt
A# G#
I've seen your poison
C# F# F D# B A# G#
You've done your worst
A# G# C# F# F D# B A# G#
I've seen your better and I can't believe it's true
A# G# C# F# F D# B A# G# F# F D# B A# G# B* B*
You've lost the truth that used to live inside of you
