Is there anybody out there?

That wakes up with a bitter taste?

It's a king that we put up there

{Verse 2}
Is there anybody out there?
That can see what a man can change?
It's better that you don't care
Because he knows that he's in his state
I feel the paranoia.
When there's a time, put you in your place
In the eyes of those who watch ya
Well they can wait 'til they hit your face
{Chorus}
Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don't wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Solo: Bm G A F#m 2x

Paint yourself a picture
Bm D
When you waste another picture
G A Bm
And you win, and you win, and you win
G A
Paint yourself a picture
Bm D
And then you break another picture
G A Bm
And you win, and you win, and you win
G A Bm
And you win, yeah you win, and you win
{Chorus}
Don't be so greedy
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts stop beating
Say what you want 'em to do
Wasting away... I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don't wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you
Wasting away... I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don't wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you
