Failure

[G]He used to be a singer in a r[Em]ock and roll band
[D]he would write the songs and i'd t[C]remble at his hand but o[D]h, la l[G]aa
[D]he lost poetic ethic and [Em]his songs were pathetic, and [D]he's a failure [G]now

[G]he used to be the life and soul of [Em]everyone around
[D]you'd never catch him looking up and [C]never see him down but [D]oh, la l[G]aa
[D]he couldnt raise a smile oh [Em]not for a while and [C]he's a failure [Em]now

[G]dont cry c[Em]hild, yo[C]u've got so much more to live for[D]
[G]dont cry c[Em]hild, yo[C]u've got something i would die for[D]
[G]and if it come to the rain, just be [C]glad you'll smile a[D]gain
cause so many [G]dont.
And so ma[Em]ny go u[D]named

[G]People push right past me s[Em]houting various claims

[G]And i used to need a couple o people k[Em]eep my head down
[D]now i need a whole lot more to keep [C]me on the ground but o[D]h, la la[G]a
