Intro

[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
Em Dm
Being wheeled into position to deliver some saccharine
C A7
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 Cm
I just send it on straight down to hell
G Em
'cause every time I was given a chance
D C D Em
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
Em E
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 Cm
I just send it on straight down to hell
G Em
'cause every time I was given a chance
D C D Em
To stand on my own two feet I fell
[Instrumental]

[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 Em
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 Em
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 Em
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 Cm
I just send it on straight down to hell
G Em D C D
'cause every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
G Em D C D
Yah every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
G Em D C D
Oh, every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet I fell
