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