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