Verse 1:
D* A*
It's another November evening
D* G* Fill---> e--3------|
As you remember your way home B----3----|
D* G* G------0--|
You meet out your aggressive tendencies
A
On what's left of your blackened soul
D* A*
You've come to this conclusion
D* G* Fill
As you're dragged from another bloody fight
D* G*
You've reached the age where you've decided
A
That you've lived out your whole life
Pre-Chorus:
G A D
Another busted knuckle, taken down by a kick to the balls
G A D
You've wasted time, wasting time as life's shadow grows so tall
G
It's another busted knuckle, it's a fight you'll never win
Dsus D A*
And now you bow your head in shame, for a sin no one forgives
Chorus:
D G A
Fight, fight, you'll never win
D G A
Tonight I'll start again
D G A
Fight, fight you'll never win
D G A
How will I make amends
D A G A D A G A
This is our life, this is our time
D A G A D A G A
This is my life, don't waste my time
Verse 2:
D* A*
Your wife can't understand you
D* G* Fill
And you've alienated your oldest friends
D* G* A
Breaking back and fingers to the bone
Burning candles at both ends
D* A* D*
Tired of this petty life you lead
G* Fill
A series of dull events
D* G*
A two-bit, half-***ed effigy
A
Of someone else's dread
Pre-Chorus
