[Verse - Full drums - Guitar staccato and muted] I went [A] searching for the [G] truth But in my [Em] innocence I [A] found All the [A] con men and their [G] acrobats Who [Em] stomped me in the [A] ground If I [A] count up their [G] percentages I [Em] know they're getting [A] rich But t [A] hey haven't taken [G] everything Those [Em] paybacks are a [A] bitch (Asus 2 figure)
[Prechorus - climb is A A/B C - chords more open] Though I've [C] lost quite a lot I am [G] still in control They can [C] keep what they've got But they [A] can't have my soul (stop)

[Verse] What was [A] (back in) ripped off by [G] professionals Is [Em] not all that it [A] seems While I [A] must live up to [G] contracts I did [Em] not give up my [A] dreams (Asus 2 figure + drums stop) If I [A] see it as [G] experience It [Em] hasn't gone to [A] waste Lately [A] all the missing [G] pieces Have been [Em] falling into [A] place

[Verse] I'm a [A] mark for every [G] shyster From [Em] Topanga to [A] Berlin And I [A] should have learned to [G] kick them out As [Em] soon as they crawled [A] in So to [A] every bank in [G] Switzerland That [Em] stores my stolen [A] youth I'm a [A] lright because [G] despite the laws You [Em] cannot hide the [A] truth
[Prechorus] And [C] although you will say I am [G] still too naive Well I [C] have not lost faith In the [A] things I believe
[Chorus] And if [D] I don't [G] have a this [A] all worked [D] out Still I'm [D] getting [G] closer, [A] getting [D] closer I [D] still have [G] far to [A] go no [Bm] doubt But I'm [D] still [G] getting [A] closer, [D] getting closer
