Intro
D# G# A# D# G# A#
[Verse]
D#
Well some people they claim
G#
They never had a fair roll of the dice
A#
They could be right
D#
But that's not me, see I was lucky
G#
And just had everything fall in my plate
A#
Call it fate if you want to
G# A#
But for all the elaborate setup and maneuver
Cm A#m
Being wheeled into position to deliver some saccharine
G# F7
Punch to the guts of a world screaming out
A#
For whatever the hell they think it is that I've got
[Chorus]
D#
Every time I was given a chance
G#
To stand on my own two feet
A#
Oh I fell, yah
D#
And every time I was given a chance
G#
To stand on my own two feet
A#
Oh I fell, yah
D#
And every time opportunity knocks on my door
G# G#m
I just send it on straight down to hell
D# Cm
'cause every time I was given a chance
A# G# A# Cm
To stand on my own two feet I fell
[Verse]
D#
Well some people they imagine
G#
The disappointment must tear me apart
A#
Break my heart
D#
And presume I'm disgusted
G#
By all the injustice I've seen
A#
But that's not me and I tell you
G# A#
I bear no resentment to millionaire pop singers
Cm C
Barely literate poets and guitar stock gunslingers
G#
And I smile so politely
F
At the well-meaning ignorance
A#
Of the people who tell me I'm gonna make it someday
[Chorus]
D#
Every time I was given a chance
G#
To stand on my own two feet
A#
Oh I fell, yah
D#
And every time I was given a chance
G#
To stand on my own two feet
A#
Oh I fell, yah
D#
And every time opportunity knocks on my door
G# G#m
I just send it on straight down to hell
D# Cm
'cause every time I was given a chance
A# G# A# Cm
To stand on my own two feet I fell
[Instrumental]
A# D# A# G# D# A#
[Verse]
D#
Well the sun's going down on what's left of today
G# A#
And the tide drags what's left of this moment away
D#
And so I kick through the dirt and the red autumn leaves
G# A#
What I had and what I lost and what I still believe
D#
And I have no regrets for the time that I spent
G# A#
Barely paying my dues and barely paying the rent
D#
For a simple pursuit of more honest a life
G# A#
Yah I don't cheat on my taxes, I don't cheat on my wife
D#
Now the fire's burning out and the walls closing in
G# A#
And I'm dragged by the gravity into the sin
D#
Of obedient service of some twisted machine
G# A#
Blowing smoke in our faces of each little scene
D#
Set to form a distraction just to buy up some time
G# A#
Misdirected by swagger and beaten by rhyme
D#
Telling tales of a life you might one day attain
G# A#
If you just keep your focus relentlessly trained
D#
On the things you can get and not who you can be
G# A#
No the innocent dream of the sky and the sea
D#
And the word and the truth and the spirit of man
G# A#
And a history that promises one day we can
D#
With a love for your brother and your sister and yourself
G# A#
Get there one day together in good cheer and good health
D#
But it comes at a cost, yah there's a price that you pay
G# A#
For a sweet bowl tomorrow you gotta give up today
D# Cm
It's a sacrifice way beyond mortals like me
G# A#
For an age that never was and never could ever be
D#
So I don't dwell on the past, I don't rue my mistakes
G# A#
And I'm proud that I never had whatever it takes
D#
Now I'm stood on the deck of this leaky old boat
G# A#
With just a shirt on my back and a song in my throat
D# Cm
And I'm the luckiest boy on the face of the earth
G# A#
'Cause I know about love and I know what it's worth
D# Cm
So I'm not giving up, and I'm not giving in
G# A#
Though I know it's a fight that I'm not gonna win
D#
And I still scream in the face of more powerful men:
I choose this, motherfucker, and I choose it again!
[Chorus]
D#
Every time I was given a chance
G#
To stand on my own two feet
A#
Oh I fell, yah
D#
And every time I was given a chance
G#
To stand on my own two feet
A#
Oh I fell, yah
D#
And every time opportunity knocks on my door
G# G#m
I just send it on straight down to hell
D# Cm A# G# A#
'cause every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
D# Cm A# G# A#
Yah every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
D# Cm A# G# A#
Oh, every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet I fell
[Outro]
