Intro
G# C# D# G# C# D#
[Verse]
G#
Well some people they claim
C#
They never had a fair roll of the dice
D#
They could be right
G#
But that's not me, see I was lucky
C#
And just had everything fall in my plate
D#
Call it fate if you want to
C# D#
But for all the elaborate setup and maneuver
Fm D#m
Being wheeled into position to deliver some saccharine
C# A#7
Punch to the guts of a world screaming out
D#
For whatever the hell they think it is that I've got
[Chorus]
G#
Every time I was given a chance
C#
To stand on my own two feet
D#
Oh I fell, yah
G#
And every time I was given a chance
C#
To stand on my own two feet
D#
Oh I fell, yah
G#
And every time opportunity knocks on my door
C# C#m
I just send it on straight down to hell
G# Fm
'cause every time I was given a chance
D# C# D# Fm
To stand on my own two feet I fell
[Verse]
G#
Well some people they imagine
C#
The disappointment must tear me apart
D#
Break my heart
G#
And presume I'm disgusted
C#
By all the injustice I've seen
D#
But that's not me and I tell you
C# D#
I bear no resentment to millionaire pop singers
Fm F
Barely literate poets and guitar stock gunslingers
C#
And I smile so politely
A#
At the well-meaning ignorance
D#
Of the people who tell me I'm gonna make it someday
[Chorus]
G#
Every time I was given a chance
C#
To stand on my own two feet
D#
Oh I fell, yah
G#
And every time I was given a chance
C#
To stand on my own two feet
D#
Oh I fell, yah
G#
And every time opportunity knocks on my door
C# C#m
I just send it on straight down to hell
G# Fm
'cause every time I was given a chance
D# C# D# Fm
To stand on my own two feet I fell
[Instrumental]
D# G# D# C# G# D#
[Verse]
G#
Well the sun's going down on what's left of today
C# D#
And the tide drags what's left of this moment away
G#
And so I kick through the dirt and the red autumn leaves
C# D#
What I had and what I lost and what I still believe
G#
And I have no regrets for the time that I spent
C# D#
Barely paying my dues and barely paying the rent
G#
For a simple pursuit of more honest a life
C# D#
Yah I don't cheat on my taxes, I don't cheat on my wife
G#
Now the fire's burning out and the walls closing in
C# D#
And I'm dragged by the gravity into the sin
G#
Of obedient service of some twisted machine
C# D#
Blowing smoke in our faces of each little scene
G#
Set to form a distraction just to buy up some time
C# D#
Misdirected by swagger and beaten by rhyme
G#
Telling tales of a life you might one day attain
C# D#
If you just keep your focus relentlessly trained
G#
On the things you can get and not who you can be
C# D#
No the innocent dream of the sky and the sea
G#
And the word and the truth and the spirit of man
C# D#
And a history that promises one day we can
G#
With a love for your brother and your sister and yourself
C# D#
Get there one day together in good cheer and good health
G#
But it comes at a cost, yah there's a price that you pay
C# D#
For a sweet bowl tomorrow you gotta give up today
G# Fm
It's a sacrifice way beyond mortals like me
C# D#
For an age that never was and never could ever be
G#
So I don't dwell on the past, I don't rue my mistakes
C# D#
And I'm proud that I never had whatever it takes
G#
Now I'm stood on the deck of this leaky old boat
C# D#
With just a shirt on my back and a song in my throat
G# Fm
And I'm the luckiest boy on the face of the earth
C# D#
'Cause I know about love and I know what it's worth
G# Fm
So I'm not giving up, and I'm not giving in
C# D#
Though I know it's a fight that I'm not gonna win
G#
And I still scream in the face of more powerful men:
I choose this, motherfucker, and I choose it again!
[Chorus]
G#
Every time I was given a chance
C#
To stand on my own two feet
D#
Oh I fell, yah
G#
And every time I was given a chance
C#
To stand on my own two feet
D#
Oh I fell, yah
G#
And every time opportunity knocks on my door
C# C#m
I just send it on straight down to hell
G# Fm D# C# D#
'cause every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
G# Fm D# C# D#
Yah every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
G# Fm D# C# D#
Oh, every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet I fell
[Outro]
