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
Bm Am
Being wheeled into position to deliver some saccharine
G E7
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 Gm
I just send it on straight down to hell
D Bm
'cause every time I was given a chance
A G A Bm
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
Bm B
Barely literate poets and guitar stock gunslingers
G
And I smile so politely
E
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 Gm
I just send it on straight down to hell
D Bm
'cause every time I was given a chance
A G A Bm
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 Bm
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 Bm
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 Bm
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 Gm
I just send it on straight down to hell
D Bm A G A
'cause every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
D Bm A G A
Yah every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
D Bm A G A
Oh, every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet I fell
[Outro]
