[Intro]
D Dmaj7 D7 G Gm
D Dmaj7 D7 G Gm
[Verse 1]
D Dmaj7 D7
Every time I think of all the time I had to think
G Gm D Dmaj7 D7
G Gm
(If I only knew)
D Dmaj7
Uncertainty is the spice of life
D7 G
You move alone and don't think twice about it
Gm D Dmaj7 D7
'Cause every time you do, you'll miss a moment
G Gm
(It's gone, adieu)
D Dmaj7
And step by step, day by day
D7 G Gm
Funny how clichés stay true
D Dmaj7
All you know is all you need to know
D7 G Gm
Let the rest come as it comes to you
D Dmaj7 D7
And Hallmark cards and shooting stars don’t get you that far at all
G Gm
But putting faith in anything's better than being lost
D Dmaj7 D7
And chasing dreams and finer things won't bring you any certainty
G Gm
But it don't seem to hurt
[Verse 2]
N.C.
And doing drugs are lots of fun
G
But they sure seem to make you numb and passive
D
Blind your eyes and make you prone to habits
G
You know what your actions get you
D
Having fun and finding love are as defined by you
G
No, need to act it
D
Keep your eyes ahead, you're bound to have it
You see, we're all gonna get bad news
G
But we're all in lives past due
D Dmaj7 D7 G
All you get to choose is what defines you
D G x3 (through interlude)
[Interlude] spoken
Marxism, Catholicism, Objectivism, you name it
Rubbish, all rubbish
What is real is experience
How much of that has been taken away from us?
By these dominators?
By these priesthoods?
By these cults?
Well, a lot
[Verse 3]
D Dmaj7 D7 G
And asking for your own advice from other's mouths won't give you means to take it
Gm D
You know how to move, your peers are blameless
Dmaj7 D7 G Gm
(You'll get it soon, you'll get it soon, you'll get it soon)
D Dmaj7 D7
And finding God and making one are not one in the same
G
You'll sin in practice
Gm D Dmaj7 D7 G Gm
So pick your masters wisely in your madness
D Dmaj7 D7
And easy-living philosophies you never have to prove
G Gm
Getting old is wealth that beats the other choice you get to choose
[Outro]
D Dmaj7 D7 G Gm
D Dmaj7 D7 G Gm
