Intro
Em – C – D – Em – C – B – Em – C D Em – C D Em – C D Em – C B
Verse 1
Em – C D Em – C D Em – C D Em – C B A moment of silence, please, for those who never get the chance
They show up to the party, but they're never asked to dance
The losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves
The cynicists, the pessimists, and those that don't believe in nothing
Break 1
Em – C – D – Em – C – B – Verse 2
Em – C D Em – C D Em – C D Em – C B I never met a loser that I didn't see eye-to-eye with, I declare
I stare into your eyes but you look right past me into the air
What's it like to stand in your shoes? To have never felt the belt of somebody's abuse?
I take the bottle and I tip it for all my heroes that have passed, alas, you have left us, but your stories they will last
Uninspired by the recruiting call, independent we stand, independent we fall
Pre-Chorus 1
Em – C D Em – C D Em – C D Em – C B Chorus 1
Em – C – G – D – x8So tell me: how long do you think you can go before you lose it all? Before they call you bluff and watch you fall?
I don't know, but I'd like to think I had control at some point, but I let it go and lost my soul
Sit tight, but the revolution's years away I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say
So, I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate the tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite
Oh! To have died that night, I realized it wouldn't last, our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed
Oh! To the west, you don't know what it is you're running from
And everybody's laughing loud, last chance to make your mother and your father proud
Post-Chorus 1
Em – C D Em – C D Em – C D Em – C B Verse 3
Em – C D Em – C D Em – C D Em – C B A moment of silence, please, for those who never get the chance
They show up to the party, but they're never asked to dance
The losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves
The cynicists, the pessimists, and those that don't believe in nothing
Break 2
Em – C – D – Em – C – B – Verse 4
Em – C D Em – C D Em – C D Em – C B They said "a pox, upon your house, upon your family and everyone you knew and everyone you'll ever meet"
I bet they think we wish we joined when we could but we do what we want, we don't do what we should
Now, everybody's laughing, 'cause they're thinking they're in on something I don't get but don't forget
I connect and I read every word you said like a child who believes he was wronged
If you hate me so much, then stop singing my songs
Break 3
Em – C D Em – C D Em – C D Em – C B Chorus 2
Em – C D Em – C D Em – C D Em – C B So tell me: how long do you think you can go before you lose it all? Before they call you bluff and watch you fall?

And everybody's laughing loud, last chance to make your mother and your father proud
Post-Chorus 2
Em – C – D – Em – C – B – Transition
Em – C D x8Verse 5
Em – C D x8I never did lose a battle
But I'm feeling further from the end of war
Deplored, ignored and rarely ever self assured
Why does it seem like the ones who have everything have nothing inside? Nothing inside?
Break 4
Em – C – D – Em – C – B – Verse 6
Em – C D x8I don't sleep anymore, I gave it up, because what we do is not enough and now they're calling out our bluffs
Have you done a single thing for someone else?
Or do you take, take, take, until your belly is stuffed?
Chorus 3
Em – C – G – D – x8So tell me: how long do you think you can go before you lose it all? Before they call you bluff and watch you fall?
I don't know, but I'd like to think I had control at some point, but I let it go and lost my soul

Oh! To the west, you don't know what it is you're running from
And everybody's laughing loud, last chance to make your mother and your father proud
