Chorus
[C] [F] [C]
Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck.
[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]
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
[F] [G] [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [G]
Most nights, I don't know anymore
Verse
[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?
[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
[C]
And that's alright
[F] [C]
I found a martyr in my bed tonight.
[F] [C]
She stops my bones from wondering
[G]
Just who I am, who I am, who I am.
[C] [F] [C] [F] [G]
Yeah, oh who am I mmmm mmmmm
CHORUS again:
[C] [F] [C]
Some nights I wish that this all would end
[C] [G]
'Cause I could use some friends for a change.
[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 still don't know what I stand for, oh.
[F] [C] [F] [C]
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
[F] [G]
Most nights, I don't know
Bridge 1
play chord pattern C-F-C-F-C-F-G in background
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No. When I see stars, that's all they are.
[G]
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan.
[F] [C] [F] [G]
So come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!
Verse
[C]
That is it, guys, that is all.
[F] [C]
Five minutes in and I'm bored again.
F. [C] [G]
Ten years of this, and I'm not sure if anybody understands.
[C]
This is not one for the folks at home.
[F] [C]
I'm sorry to leave, Mom, I had to go.
[F] [C] [G]
Who the f*** wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
Bridge 2
[F]
My heart is breaking for my sister
[C]
And the con that she called love.
[F]
But when I look into my nephew's eyes,
[F]
Man, you wouldn't believe
[C] [G]
The most amazing things that can come from.
[C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [G]
Some terrible nights.
CLOSE:
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance.
Fin.
