Verse 1
Bm
G
they never had a fair roll of the dice
C
D
G
They could be right, but that's not me
See I was lucky and I had
everything just fall in my play
C
D
Call it fate if you want to,
C
but for all the elaborate
Em
Being wheeled into position
Fdim
to deliver some saccharine
A
of a world screaming out
D
For whatever the hell they
think it is that I've got
G
Every time I was given a chance
C
to stand on my own two feet
G
Every time I was given a chance
C
to stand on my own two feet
G
Every time opportunity knocked on my door
C
Cm
I just sent it on straight down to hell
G
D
Cause every time I was given a chance
Em
D
C
To stand on my own two
D
Em
D
feet off the hill
G
Well some people they imagine
the disappointment must tear me apart
C
D
And break my heart
G
And presume that I'm disgusted
C
by all the injustice I've seen
D
That's not me, and I'll tell ya
C
That I bear no resentment
D
to millionaire pop singers
Em
Barely literate poets
Fdim
and guitar -styled gunslingers
C
And I smile so politely
A
at the well -meaning ignorance
D
Of people who tell they aren't
gonna make it someday
G
Every time I was given a chance
D
C
To stand on my own two feet
G
And every time I was given a chance
C
To stand on my own two feet
G
And every time opportunity
knocked on my door
C
Cm
I just set it on straight down the hill
G
D
Cause every time I was given a chance
Em

and what's left of today
G
C
And the tide drags
D
what's left of this moment away
G
And so I kick through the dirt,
and the red autumn leaves
C
And what I had and what I lost,
D
and what I still believe,
G
and I have no regrets for
the time that I spent
G
D
and barely paying the rent
G
For a simple pursuit of
more honest a life
C
Yeah, I don't cheat on my taxes,
G
D
I don't cheat on my wife
G
Now the fire's burning out
and the wall's closing in
C
D
And I'm dragged by the gravity into the sin
G
Of obedient service of some
twisted machine
C
Blowing smoke in the faces
G
Sent to form a distraction
just to buy up some time
C
Misdirected by swagger and beats
G
Telling tales of a life
you might one day attain
C
If you just keep your focus
G
On the things you can get
but not who you can be
G
And the word and the truth
and the spirit of man
C
And a history that promises
G
With a love for your brother
and your sister and yourself
C
Get there one day together
D
in good cheer and good health
G
But it comes at a cost,
yeah, there's a price that you pay
D
you gotta give up today
beyond mortals like me
C
For an age that never was
D
and never could ever be
G
So I don't dwell on the past,
I don't ruin my mistakes
C
And I'm proud that I never
G
Now I'm still on the deck
of this leaky old boat
C
With just a shirt on my back
D
and this song in my throat
G
And I'm the luckiest boy
on the face of the earth
C
Cause I know about love
G
So I'm not giving up and I'm not giving in
G
And I still scream in the face
of all powerful men
C
I choose this motherfucker
D
D
D
and I choose it again

Every time opportunity knocked on my door
C
I just say I'm straight down to hell
