Intro 1

Verse 1
Emaj7 
C#m9 
I've seen enough  (E minoraj7) of it  (C sharp minor9) 
G#m 
The sides  (G sharp minor) are all cemented
G#m/F# 
Their incentives  (G sharp minor/F#) look the same
Emaj7 
C#m9 
Are they vetted  (E minoraj7) in the same ways?  (C sharp minor9) 
G#m 
As the  (G sharp minor) little guy puts blood and tears
G#m/F# 
Into  (G sharp minor/F#) pushing   deadweight
Emaj7 
on the capital  (E minoraj7) steps
C#m9 
G#m 
Bleeding out  (C sharp minor9) for a  (G sharp minor) caricature
of a '50s salesman
G#m/F# 
Emaj7 
 (G sharp minor/F#) Hare      checklist, tickin' every  (E minoraj7) box
C#m9 
Dead for  (C sharp minor9) what?

Chorus 1

Standing on the side,

I never was the silent type

All the endless grey conundrums

that are painted black and white

I heard a hundred million voices

sound the same both left and right

We're still a long way off

Verse 2
Emaj7 
C#m9 
Some get along  (E minoraj7) with it  (C sharp minor9) 
G#m 
They drag  (G sharp minor) around from town to town
G#m/F# 
With a  (G sharp minor/F#) pretty    lie
Emaj7 
C#m9 
that hoodwinked many of  (E minoraj7) my loved ones  (C sharp minor9) 
G#m 
I owe  (G sharp minor) it to my folks
G#m/F# 
for giving me  (G sharp minor/F#) an understanding
Emaj7 
Of a world  (E minoraj7) 
C#m9 
Shot my people down  (C sharp minor9) 
G#m 
G#m/F# 
The hungry  (G sharp minor) and divided play into  (G sharp minor/F#) the hands
Emaj7 
of the man who put 'em  (E minoraj7) there
C#m9 
So it  (C sharp minor9) goes

Chorus 2
Emaj7 
Standing  (E minoraj7) on the side,
C#m9 
I never was  (C sharp minor9) the silent type
G#m 
All the endless  (G sharp minor) grey conundrums
G#m/F# 
that are painted  (G sharp minor/F#) black and white
Emaj7 
Heard a hundred  (E minoraj7) million voices
C#m9 
sound the same  (C sharp minor9) both left and right
G#m 
G#m/F# 
We're still a  (G sharp minor) long  way off  (G sharp minor/F#)

that are painted  (G sharp minor/F#) black and white
