While we're on the subject, could we change the subject now?
[G] I was knocking on your ears, don't you know you were always out?
[D]
Looking toward the future, you were begging for the past.
[G] Well, we know we had the good things, but those never seemed to [D] last.
Oh, people's lives. _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
Everyone's unhappy, _ everyone's ashamed.
Well, [G] we all just got by looking at somebody else's page.
[D] Well, nothing ever went quite exactly as we planned.
[G] Our ideas held no water, but we used them like a dam.
[D] _
Oh, [A] when we carried it on so [G] well,
_ As if we got a new [D] position, oh,
[A] When all of life all the way to [G] hell.
I said, yes, it's fine and [D]
promotional,
_ [A] When all of life all the way to [G] hell.
_ _ _ _ [D] Of course, everyone goes crazy over such and such and such.
[G] We've made ourselves killer, though we just used it as a crutch.
[D] We were certainly uncertain, at least I'm pretty sure I am.
Well, [G] we didn't need the water, though we just built that good [D] god damn.
Oh, [A] and I know that if so myself,
[G] _ _ _ I'd still do much for other [D] people.
Oh, and [A] I know that if so [G] myself,
_ _ We'd listen to all the lies you [D] say, go man.
_ [A] The sound of life's sweet [G] _ dance.
_ _ _ _ [D] _

Was it ever worth it?
Was there all that much to gain?
Well, we knew we'd miss the boat [G] and we'd already missed the [D] plane.
We didn't read the invite, we just danced in our own wake.
All [Gm] our favorites were playing so we could shake, shake, shake, shake, [D] shake.
Tiny, tiny, _ tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny.
Man, we'd tell a little joke and get a tiny laugh from all them folks
that'd [G] trip [D] around the boats and thinking it was us that carried them
[G] when we finally got it figured out that we had truly missed the boats.
[D] _
Oh, [A] and we carried it all [G] so well.
_ As if we got a new [D] position.
Oh, [A] and we owned all the tools ourselves.
[G] _ _ _ Without the skill you made, you'd [D] push down with love.
[A] What you do is less, because you [G] don't, I tell you.
