Verse 1:
Dm         Bb        A
  Everybody  is tired and

poor and sick of trying
Dm             Bb
  If you see me  on the corner
A                  A/C#
  Will you stop or will you splash me
Dm              Bb
  Take a look at  what we've become
A                   A/C#
  Nothing more than silhouettes of
Dm               Bb
  A pretty family  on a postcard
A                 A/C#
  Picture Perfect I don't want it!

Cause this is how it is 
    A             Dm     Bb
and this is how it  goes!
         F
You can steal my body but 
A                  Dm   Bb
you can't steal my soul!
     F
Cause this is how it is 
    A
and this is how it goes!

Verse 2:
Dm              Bb
  Shitty weather  bad timing
A             A/C#
  Lucky penny glued to the ground
Dm               Bb
  Dirty look from  total stranger
A
  Hope you get lost 
A/C#
and you're not found
Dm              Bb
  Take a look at  what we've become

A                  Dm   Bb
you can't steal my soul!

Cause this is how it is 
    A
and this is how it
Dm       Bb     F       A
