-Verse 1-
Em AWe the people fight for our existence
Em AWe don't claim to be perfect but we're free
Em AWe 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 ABut my God woke up on the wrong side of His bed
And it just don't matter now
-Chorus 1-
G D A Em D/F# G'Cause little by little, we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
D A Em D/F# GAnd little by little, the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
D A Em D/F# GLittle by little, you have to live it all in all your life
D C G AAnd all the time, I just ask myself why are you really here?
-Verse 2-
Em ATrue perfection has to be imperfect
Em AI know that that sounds foolish but it's true
Em AThe day has come and now you'll have to accept
Em AThe life inside your head we give to you
