(Note: Listen for strumming pattern on final G5)
So many people die every day, who lived every night without hope
Spendin' their time just standin' in line
Tuggin' on society's coat

So many people live every day like they ain't never gonna get old
* C5
Doin' their time like carps in the slime
Submarines with no periscopes

Oooh..... you are not alone

Verse 2:
(Note: Listen for strumming pattern on final G5)
So many people keepin' the pace, just the other side of grace
Fakin' their smiles, just rankin' the file
Wild cheetahs but in a cage, oh baby now
* C5
So many people can't see the signs,
even though their eyes are just fine (their eyes are just fine)
* C5
Hittin' the stage a day late for the show
Astronomers with no telescopes
