A Moment Of Silence

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

To the west, you don't know what it is you're running from C G And everybody's laughing loud D Last chance to make your mother and your father proud Em C D Em C D Em C D Em C B Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
