And there's no need to doubt it

There's never been

Two ways about it

It takes a thick skin

There's ways around it

But no way in

Chorus 2

same as 1st chorus)

When you think about it

And people you once trusted

Are now looking so disgusted

And they're waiting anxiously

For you to fall

And trying to catch a breath

You're stalling and dying

A sudden death

And all the while

DOhh.. F♯mOoh yeah.. BmOooohBm/Ahhh... EOhhh

Last 2 verses (verse chords change)

And nDow the time has come

For it to sF♯mtop

The clown was done

So call a cBmop

You're like a Bm/Aboy

In a china shAop

Unable to make a sound

Your hands are sweaty

As you look down

You're running already

When you hit the ground
