(C                       F            C) 
 Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck. 
(F             C         G) 
 Some nights I call it a draw. 
(C                            F                 C) 
 Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle. 
(F              C                 G) 
 Some nights I wish they'd just fall off 
 
       F         C           F         C 
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost. 
               F         C          G 
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh. 
F   C    F  C 
oh woah, oh woah 
Am                     G

Oohhh, oh woah oh, oh woah oh, oh

F                 C 
This is it, boys. This is war. 
F            C 
What are we waiting for? 
F             C                 G 
Why don't we break the rules already? 
       F            C 
I was never one to believe the hype. 
F                   C 
Save that for the black and white. 
       F                    C 
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, 
     G 
But here they come again to jack my style 
               F               C 
And that's alright (that's alright) 
            F           C 
I found a martyr in my bed tonight. 
    F                    C 
She stops my bones from wondering 
     G                         F   C 
Just who I am, who I am, who I am. 
   F   C      F   C     G 
Oh who am I    mmmm   yeaahh 
 
 
 
 
 
       F             C               F         C 
Well, Some nights I wish that this all would end 
        F               C               G 
'Cause I could use some friends for a change. 
     F           C                F         C 
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again. 
      F                C     G 
Some nights, I always win (I always win) 
       F     C               F          C 
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost. 
              F         C           G 
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh.
