some lyrics may change as a result
I wasn't sure about the name of one chord so here's the diagram for it
F#madd 2x021x  which is finger picked

    
    Am          G           F
you wrestle yourself to the ground 
          Dm                C            G
you springboard and kick yourself in the mouth 
      F            C            G           Am
cause all of that drama, that embarrassed charade 
         Dm                     G
couldn't stop you or settle you down 

       Am            G          F
so you got back with your black hole 
        Dm               C                G
and you don't care who's out there or who knows
             F                C 
cause you're spent and you're sad 
             G                     Am
cause you've bronzed it, it's your badge 
            Dm                  G
and you've fixed it to all your clothes
 
                   F
every t-shirt and overcoat 
                         F#madd
so it's with you through hot or cold  
            Dm      C        G
but i would tear it from the cloth 
              Dm       C       Am     F
yeah, i would tear it from the cloth         
G                    C
grow up and knock it off 

cause there's a world awake outside
with injustice and music and july, july 
with history's arc, 
with your family, 
with art. 
but it don't mean nothing 
not to you, not tonight 

you can't see past the length of your nose 
the biggest problems, well you're sure they're your own 
that girl you cut loose 
those two friends that cursed you 
and all that powder that you can't leave alone 

and you say, you know, you know, you know 
but i know that you don't, you don't, you don't 
cause if you did, you'd really try 
if you did, you'd really try to let all that die 

[ break ]
C, G, Am, Em, F    x4    (on last circle  C ,G, Am,  Em, F, Fm)

so marry yourself to your work 
and crowd your confusion with words 
then round out your life with some records you like 
while you bury your love in the dirt 

cause it's endless, the ditch you can dig 
you're stubborn, and you're prideful, and you're all over it 
so i suggest you make sense of the time you've got left 
so you don't end up back where you've been 


                 F
and you say you won't, you won't, you won't 
                     Fmadd
and i hope that you don't, you don't, you don't 
           Dm            C           G
but if you mean it, then stand up and fight 
           Dm             C           Am   F
but if you mean it, then stand up and fight 
G                           C       G,    Am, Em , F
     i mean, it's only your life 

                      C
i mean it's only your life 
          G
to fix or ruin 
    Am            Em     F
to figure what to do with 
               C
it's only your life 
          G
to fix or ruin 
             Am            Em    F
cause no one else is going to do it 
                     C
cause it's only your life

Am, G, F
