[Verse]
B
Well some people they claim
E
They never had a fair roll of the dice
F#
They could be right
B
But that's not me, see I was lucky
E
And just had everything fall in my plate
F#
Call it fate if you want to
E F#
But for all the elaborate setup and maneuver
G#m F#m
Being wheeled into position to deliver some saccharine
E C#7
Punch to the guts of a world screaming out
F#
For whatever the hell they think it is that I've got
[Chorus]
B
Every time I was given a chance
E
To stand on my own two feet
F#
Oh I fell, yah
B
And every time I was given a chance
E
To stand on my own two feet
F#
Oh I fell, yah
B
And every time opportunity knocks on my door
E Em
I just send it on straight down to hell
B G#m
'cause every time I was given a chance
F# E F# G#m
To stand on my own two feet I fell
[Verse]
B
Well some people they imagine
E
The disappointment must tear me apart
F#
Break my heart
B
And presume I'm disgusted
E
By all the injustice I've seen
F#
But that's not me and I tell you
E F#
I bear no resentment to millionaire pop singers
G#m G#
Barely literate poets and guitar stock gunslingers
E
And I smile so politely
C#
At the well-meaning ignorance
F#
Of the people who tell me I'm gonna make it someday
[Chorus]
B
Every time I was given a chance
E
To stand on my own two feet
F#
Oh I fell, yah
B
And every time I was given a chance
E
To stand on my own two feet
F#
Oh I fell, yah
B
And every time opportunity knocks on my door
E Em
I just send it on straight down to hell
B G#m
'cause every time I was given a chance
F# E F# G#m
To stand on my own two feet I fell
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
B
Well the sun's going down on what's left of today
E F#
And the tide drags what's left of this moment away
B
And so I kick through the dirt and the red autumn leaves
E F#
What I had and what I lost and what I still believe
B
And I have no regrets for the time that I spent
E F#
Barely paying my dues and barely paying the rent
B
For a simple pursuit of more honest a life
E F#
Yah I don't cheat on my taxes, I don't cheat on my wife
B
Now the fire's burning out and the walls closing in
E F#
And I'm dragged by the gravity into the sin
B
Of obedient service of some twisted machine
E F#
Blowing smoke in our faces of each little scene
B
Set to form a distraction just to buy up some time
E F#
Misdirected by swagger and beaten by rhyme
B
Telling tales of a life you might one day attain
E F#
If you just keep your focus relentlessly trained
B
On the things you can get and not who you can be
E F#
No the innocent dream of the sky and the sea
B
And the word and the truth and the spirit of man
E F#
And a history that promises one day we can
B
With a love for your brother and your sister and yourself
E F#
Get there one day together in good cheer and good health
B
But it comes at a cost, yah there's a price that you pay
E F#
For a sweet bowl tomorrow you gotta give up today
B G#m
It's a sacrifice way beyond mortals like me
E F#
For an age that never was and never could ever be
B
So I don't dwell on the past, I don't rue my mistakes
E F#
And I'm proud that I never had whatever it takes
B
Now I'm stood on the deck of this leaky old boat
E F#
With just a shirt on my back and a song in my throat
B G#m
And I'm the luckiest boy on the face of the earth
E F#
'Cause I know about love and I know what it's worth
B G#m
So I'm not giving up, and I'm not giving in
E F#
Though I know it's a fight that I'm not gonna win
B
And I still scream in the face of more powerful men:
I choose this, motherfucker, and I choose it again!
[Chorus]
B
Every time I was given a chance
E
To stand on my own two feet
F#
Oh I fell, yah
B
And every time I was given a chance
E
To stand on my own two feet
F#
Oh I fell, yah
B
And every time opportunity knocks on my door
E Em
I just send it on straight down to hell
B G#m F# E F#
'cause every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
B G#m F# E F#
Yah every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet
B G#m F# E F#
Oh, every time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet I fell
