Intro

[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
Am Gm
Being wheeled into position to deliver some saccharine
F D7
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 Fm
I just send it on straight down to hell
C Am
'cause every time I was given a chance
G F G Am
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
Am 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 Fm
I just send it on straight down to hell
C Am
'cause every time I was given a chance
G F G Am
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 Am
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 Am
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 Am
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 Fm
I just send it on straight down to hell
C Am G F G
'cause every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
C Am G F G
Yah every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
C Am G F G
Oh, every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet I fell
