A Moment Of Silence

A moment of[Em] silence, please, for those who [C]never get the chance [D]
[Em]They show up to the party, bu[C]t they're never asked to dance[D]
The [Em]losers and the liars and the b[C]astards and the th[D]ieves
[Em]The cynicists, yeah the pessimists, and th[C]ose that don't believe in [D]nothing

[Em]  [C]  [D]

[Em]I never met a loser that I d[C]idn't see eye-to-[D]eye with,
[Em]I declare , I stare into your [C]eyes but you look right p[D]ast me into the air
[Em]  What's it like to s[C]tand in your sh[D]oes?
To have [Em]never felt the belt [C]of somebody's ab[D]use?
[Em]I take the bottle and I t[C]ip it for all my h[D]eroes that have p[Em]assed
At last, you have l[C]eft us, but your st[D]ories they will l[Em]ast
Uninspired by the r[C]ecruiting [D]call
[Em]  Independent we stand, inde[C]pendent we f[B]all

So tell m[Em]e how long do you t[C]hink you can go before you l[G]ose it all?
Before they c[D]all your bluff and watch you fall?[Em]
I don't know, but I'd [C]like to think I had control [G]
At some point, but I l[D]et it go and lost my soul [Em]
Sit tight, but the r[C]evolution's years away [G]
I'm losing faith and I'm r[D]unning low on things to say [Em]
So, I guess I have no ch[C]oice but to regurgitate [G]
The tired anthem of a l[D]oser and a hypocrite [Em]
Oh![C] To have d[G]ied that night, [D]I realized it wouldn't last [Em]
Our days were numbered and the [C]reaper tipped the hourglass [G]
The final mayday of our s[D]inking ship had come and passed [Em]

Oh![C] To the west[G], you don't know wh[D]at it is you're r[Em]unning from
And [C]everybody's laughing loud [G]
Last chance to make your m[D]other and your father proud
[Em]Oh, [C]oh-o[D]h-oh,   [Em]oh-o[C]h-o[D]h-oh,   [Em]oh-[C]oh-[D]oh,   [Em]oh-oh-o[C]h  [B]

They said "a [Em]pox, upon your house, [C]upon your family [D]
And ever[Em]yone you ever knew, and every[C]one you'll ever m[D]eet"
[Em]  I bet they think we wish we j[C]oined when we [D]could
But we [Em]do what we want and we don't [C]do what we sh[D]ould, yeah
[Em]  Everybody's laughing, yeah they're t[C]hinking they're in on s[D]omething I don't [Em]get
Don't forget, I c[C]onnect and I read [D]every word you s[Em]aid
Like a child who [C]believes he was w[D]ronged
If you [Em]hate me so much, then s[C]top s[B]inging my songs
