Intro

[Verse]
A
Well some people they claim
D
They never had a fair roll of the dice
E
They could be right
A
But that's not me, see I was lucky
D
And just had everything fall in my plate
E
Call it fate if you want to
D E
But for all the elaborate setup and maneuver
F#m Em
Being wheeled into position to deliver some saccharine
D B7
Punch to the guts of a world screaming out
E
For whatever the hell they think it is that I've got
[Chorus]
A
Every time I was given a chance
D
To stand on my own two feet
E
Oh I fell, yah
A
And every time I was given a chance
D
To stand on my own two feet
E
Oh I fell, yah
A
And every time opportunity knocks on my door
D Dm
I just send it on straight down to hell
A F#m
'cause every time I was given a chance
E D E F#m
To stand on my own two feet I fell
[Verse]
A
Well some people they imagine
D
The disappointment must tear me apart
E
Break my heart
A
And presume I'm disgusted
D
By all the injustice I've seen
E
But that's not me and I tell you
D E
I bear no resentment to millionaire pop singers
F#m F#
Barely literate poets and guitar stock gunslingers
D
And I smile so politely
B
At the well-meaning ignorance
E
Of the people who tell me I'm gonna make it someday
[Chorus]
A
Every time I was given a chance
D
To stand on my own two feet
E
Oh I fell, yah
A
And every time I was given a chance
D
To stand on my own two feet
E
Oh I fell, yah
A
And every time opportunity knocks on my door
D Dm
I just send it on straight down to hell
A F#m
'cause every time I was given a chance
E D E F#m
To stand on my own two feet I fell
[Instrumental]
E A E D A E
[Verse]
A
Well the sun's going down on what's left of today
D E
And the tide drags what's left of this moment away
A
And so I kick through the dirt and the red autumn leaves
D E
What I had and what I lost and what I still believe
A
And I have no regrets for the time that I spent
D E
Barely paying my dues and barely paying the rent
A
For a simple pursuit of more honest a life
D E
Yah I don't cheat on my taxes, I don't cheat on my wife
A
Now the fire's burning out and the walls closing in
D E
And I'm dragged by the gravity into the sin
A
Of obedient service of some twisted machine
D E
Blowing smoke in our faces of each little scene
A
Set to form a distraction just to buy up some time
D E
Misdirected by swagger and beaten by rhyme
A
Telling tales of a life you might one day attain
D E
If you just keep your focus relentlessly trained
A
On the things you can get and not who you can be
D E
No the innocent dream of the sky and the sea
A
And the word and the truth and the spirit of man
D E
And a history that promises one day we can
A
With a love for your brother and your sister and yourself
D E
Get there one day together in good cheer and good health
A
But it comes at a cost, yah there's a price that you pay
D E
For a sweet bowl tomorrow you gotta give up today
A F#m
It's a sacrifice way beyond mortals like me
D E
For an age that never was and never could ever be
A
So I don't dwell on the past, I don't rue my mistakes
D E
And I'm proud that I never had whatever it takes
A
Now I'm stood on the deck of this leaky old boat
D E
With just a shirt on my back and a song in my throat
A F#m
And I'm the luckiest boy on the face of the earth
D E
'Cause I know about love and I know what it's worth
A F#m
So I'm not giving up, and I'm not giving in
D E
Though I know it's a fight that I'm not gonna win
A
And I still scream in the face of more powerful men:
I choose this, motherfucker, and I choose it again!
[Chorus]
A
Every time I was given a chance
D
To stand on my own two feet
E
Oh I fell, yah
A
And every time I was given a chance
D
To stand on my own two feet
E
Oh I fell, yah
A
And every time opportunity knocks on my door
D Dm
I just send it on straight down to hell
A F#m E D E
'cause every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
A F#m E D E
Yah every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
A F#m E D E
Oh, every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet I fell
[Outro]
