[Verse]
(the D F G is played as a triplet at the end of the measure.)
A
We have tried and failed
D
We have stumbled and fallen
F#* A* B* A
We have tried a new taste
D
And we spit it back out
F#* A* B* A
We have taken a left turn
D
When we meant to turn right
F#* A* B* A
We lost sight of our origins
D
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.)
G F A# D# D C G# G F
Not emulation - cause that's not this hard
G F A# D# D C G# G F
Not imitation - cause that won't take you far
G F A# D# D C G# G F
Not digression - cause I'm falling straight up
G F A# D# D C G# G F D# D C G# G F B*
It is progression - I'm not afraid to stand up
[Verse]
A
I don't know what I expected
D
But I expected to be great
F#* A* B* A
I said "I'm trying my hardest"
D
But he didn't like the tape
F#* A* B* A
Take a look at what you're doing
D
And tell me I'm too late
F#* A* B* A
You say we're walking backwards
D
Yeah, well, that dead horse sure can't run
F#* A* B* E* F*
It sure can't run
[Chorus]
G F A# D# D C G# G F
Not emulation - cause that's not this hard
G F A# D# D C G# G F
Not imitation - cause that won't take you far
G F A# D# D C G# G F
Not digression - cause I'm falling straight up
G F A# D# D C G# G F D# D C G# G F B*
It is progression - I'm not afraid to stand up
[Bridge]
D#m* C#*
The truth

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