I woke the same
As any other day except
A voice was in my head

It said seize the day
Pull the trigger, drop the blade
And watch the rolling heads                      (rentre)

The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggars' change
And gave it to the rich - eah

The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch yeah - singing

  Bm             C
  One more time around might do it
  E              C♯m
  One more time around might make it
  B              C
  One more time around might do it
  E              C♯                 E          B
  One more time around might be the day that I tried to live, yeah

E --9-9-9-9-9--9-8-0-7-0-6-5-5-5-5-5--4-3-0-2-2-2-2-2-0--

Words you say
Never seem to live up to the
Ones inside your head

The lives we make
Never seem to ever get us
Anywhere but dead                                (rentre)

The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud
With all the other pigs yeah - singing

  Refrain  I tried

E(sus2)  x 4  puis  w/ riff intro  x 4

I woke the same
As any other day you know

    I should have stayed in bed                                      w/ riff c♯
    Yeah
    The day I tried to win I wallowed in the blood and mud
    With all the other pigs

    (And) I learned that I was a liar  x 4  singing

  Refrain

Just like you  x 2                               w/ riff e
One more time around  x 2                                            a g♯ e
