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:
Some nights I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win I always win
But I still wake up I still see your ghost
Oh Lord I still don't know what I stand for oh
What do I stand for What do I stand for
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:
That is it guys that is all
Five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this and I'm not sure if anybody understands
This is not one for the folks back home
I'm sorry to leave Mom I had to go
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
