As I was walking through a life one morning, [D] the sun was out, the air [A] was warm, but [E] oh, [D] I was [Dm] cold
Though [C] I must have looked a half a [D] person to tell their tale in my own [E] version, it was so lonely then that I [Dm] felt whole
[G] Do you believe in [D] something beautiful than to get up and be [C] it, fighting for the smallest [D] goal to gain [Dm] a little self [A]-control?
I know how hard you try, [Dm] I see it in your eyes, [Am] call you friends cause we've forgotten [Dm] what it's like to eat what's [A] rotten
And what's eating you alive [Dm] might help you to survive
[Em] We [C] went on as we were on a [D] mission, the latest in a grand [A] tradition, oh, what did we [Dm] find?
It [C] was ego who was flying the banner, [D] in me and me and Anna and [E] Anna, oh, what [Dm] did we find?
[G] Do you believe in something [D] beautiful than to get up and [C] be it, fighting for the smallest goal to [Dm] gain a little self-control?
[Am] I see it in your eyes, [Dm] I see it in your spine, [Am] call you friends cause we've [E] forgotten [Dm] what it's like to eat what's rotten
And [A] what's eating you alive [Dm] might help you to survive
[F] And even [Em] the nights ain't good yet, [A] but ah, [F]
and even [Em] the days ain't all that [A] bad
[F] And after [Em] a week of [A] fighting, it's more and more it seems the [G] right thing
Do you believe in [D] something beautiful than to get up and [Em] be it, [G] fighting for the smallest goal [D] to gain a little self-control?
[A] Won't anybody here [Dm] just let you disappear?
[A] Not doctors, no, your mom and [D] dad, but me and me and Anna and Anna
Know [A] how hard you try, don't you see it in my eyes?
[C] Sick to death of my [Dm] dependence, finding food to find transcendence
[Am] Fighting to survive, [Dm] more dead but more alive
[Am] And cigarettes and speed for [Dm] living, sleeping pills to feel forgiven
[A] All that you contrive, [Dm] man, all that you're deprived
[C] And what a bourgeois social [D] angel, telling you you've got to change
Don't [A] have any idea, [D] they'll never see so clear
[Am] But don't forget what it really [Dm] means to hunger strike
When you don't really need [A] a summer dying for a cause
[Dm] But I don't make it [F] yours
And even the nights [Dm] ain't good [A] yet, but ah
[F#] [Dm]
[C] [N] Okay
