Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck.
C G D
Some nights I call it a draw.
G C G
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle.
C G D
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off
C G C G
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost.
C G D
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh.
C G C G
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Em D (C G C G C G D x2)
Most nights, I don't know anymore
C G
This is it, boys. This is war.
C G
What are we waiting for?
C G D
Why don't we break the rules already?
C G
I was never one to believe the hype.
C G
Save that for the black and white.
C G
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
D
But here they come again to jack my style
C - G
And that's alright
C G
I found a martyr in my bed tonight.
C G
She stops my bones from wondering
D C - G
Just who I am, who I am, who I am.
C - G C - G D
Yeah, oh who am I mmmm mmmmm
C G C G
Some nights I wish that this all would end
C G D
'Cause I could use some friends for a change.
C G C G
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again.
C G D
Some nights, I always win (I always win)
C G C G
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost.
C G D
Oh Lord, I still don't know what I stand for, oh.
C G C G
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Em D
Most nights, I don't know
C G
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
D
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
C G
No. When I see stars, when i see stars, that's all they are.

When I hear songs, they sound like a swan.
C G D
So come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!
C G
That is it, guys, that is all.
C G
Five minutes in and I'm bored again.
C G D
Ten years of this, and I'm not sure if anybody understands.
C G
This is not one for the folks back home.
C G
I'm sorry to leave, Mom, I had to go.
C G D
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
C
My heart is breaking for my sister

And the con that she called love.

But when I look into my nephew's eyes,
C
Man, you wouldn't believe
G D
The most amazing things that can come from.

C G D
It's for the best we get our distance.
