-Verse 1-
---------
Em A
We the people fight for our existence
Em A
We don't claim to be perfect but we're free
Em A
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance
Em A
Fading like the stars we wish to be
--------------
-Pre-chorus 1-
--------------
D G D/F#
Y'know I didn't mean what I just said
Em A
But my God woke up on the wrong side of His bed
And it just don't matter now
----------
-Chorus 1-
----------
G D
'Cause little by little
A Em D/F# G
We gave you everything you ever dreamed of
D
And little by little
A Em D/F# G
The wheels of your life, they're slowly fallin' off
D
Little by little
A Em D/F# G
You had to give it all and now your life
D C G A
And all the time, I just ask myself why are you really here?
---------
-Verse 2-
---------
Em A
True perfection has to be imperfect
Em A
I know that that sounds foolish but it's true
Em A
The day has come and now you'll have to accept
Em A
The life inside your head we give to you

*NOTE* If you think the C+9 sounds slightly wrong in the outro,
try playing it like this: (x32033) or else just try playing
plain old C major (x32010)
That's it.
