Intro

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