Intro
F A# C F A# C
[Verse]
F
Well some people they claim
A#
They never had a fair roll of the dice
C
They could be right
F
But that's not me, see I was lucky
A#
And just had everything fall in my plate
C
Call it fate if you want to
A# C
But for all the elaborate setup and maneuver
Dm Cm
Being wheeled into position to deliver some saccharine
A# G7
Punch to the guts of a world screaming out
C
For whatever the hell they think it is that I've got
[Chorus]
F
Every time I was given a chance
A#
To stand on my own two feet
C
Oh I fell, yah
F
And every time I was given a chance
A#
To stand on my own two feet
C
Oh I fell, yah
F
And every time opportunity knocks on my door
A# A#m
I just send it on straight down to hell
F Dm
'cause every time I was given a chance
C A# C Dm
To stand on my own two feet I fell
[Verse]
F
Well some people they imagine
A#
The disappointment must tear me apart
C
Break my heart
F
And presume I'm disgusted
A#
By all the injustice I've seen
C
But that's not me and I tell you
A# C
I bear no resentment to millionaire pop singers
Dm D
Barely literate poets and guitar stock gunslingers
A#
And I smile so politely
G
At the well-meaning ignorance
C
Of the people who tell me I'm gonna make it someday
[Chorus]
F
Every time I was given a chance
A#
To stand on my own two feet
C
Oh I fell, yah
F
And every time I was given a chance
A#
To stand on my own two feet
C
Oh I fell, yah
F
And every time opportunity knocks on my door
A# A#m
I just send it on straight down to hell
F Dm
'cause every time I was given a chance
C A# C Dm
To stand on my own two feet I fell
[Instrumental]
C F C A# F C
[Verse]
F
Well the sun's going down on what's left of today
A# C
And the tide drags what's left of this moment away
F
And so I kick through the dirt and the red autumn leaves
A# C
What I had and what I lost and what I still believe
F
And I have no regrets for the time that I spent
A# C
Barely paying my dues and barely paying the rent
F
For a simple pursuit of more honest a life
A# C
Yah I don't cheat on my taxes, I don't cheat on my wife
F
Now the fire's burning out and the walls closing in
A# C
And I'm dragged by the gravity into the sin
F
Of obedient service of some twisted machine
A# C
Blowing smoke in our faces of each little scene
F
Set to form a distraction just to buy up some time
A# C
Misdirected by swagger and beaten by rhyme
F
Telling tales of a life you might one day attain
A# C
If you just keep your focus relentlessly trained
F
On the things you can get and not who you can be
A# C
No the innocent dream of the sky and the sea
F
And the word and the truth and the spirit of man
A# C
And a history that promises one day we can
F
With a love for your brother and your sister and yourself
A# C
Get there one day together in good cheer and good health
F
But it comes at a cost, yah there's a price that you pay
A# C
For a sweet bowl tomorrow you gotta give up today
F Dm
It's a sacrifice way beyond mortals like me
A# C
For an age that never was and never could ever be
F
So I don't dwell on the past, I don't rue my mistakes
A# C
And I'm proud that I never had whatever it takes
F
Now I'm stood on the deck of this leaky old boat
A# C
With just a shirt on my back and a song in my throat
F Dm
And I'm the luckiest boy on the face of the earth
A# C
'Cause I know about love and I know what it's worth
F Dm
So I'm not giving up, and I'm not giving in
A# C
Though I know it's a fight that I'm not gonna win
F
And I still scream in the face of more powerful men:
I choose this, motherfucker, and I choose it again!
[Chorus]
F
Every time I was given a chance
A#
To stand on my own two feet
C
Oh I fell, yah
F
And every time I was given a chance
A#
To stand on my own two feet
C
Oh I fell, yah
F
And every time opportunity knocks on my door
A# A#m
I just send it on straight down to hell
F Dm C A# C
'cause every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
F Dm C A# C
Yah every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
F Dm C A# C
Oh, every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet I fell
[Outro]
