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