[Verse 1]
 
        A                           Dadd9/A
Let's begin at the beginning, we're lovers and we're losers
      E/A                              Dsus2/A
We're heroes and we're pioneers, we're beggars and we're choosers
E                                 F#m7add11
Skirting 'round the edges of the ideal demographic
      E/G#                                Dsus2/A
We're almost on the guest list, but we're always stuck in traffic
      A                            Dadd9/A
We've watched our close associates up and play their parts;
        E/A                                   Dsus2/A
They're chatting up the it girls, and they're tearing up the charts,
      E                                       F#m7add11
While we were paying with coppers to get our rounds in at the bar.
          E/G#                            Dsus2/A            G6sus2
We're the C-Team, we're the almost famous old friends of the stars.
 
 
[Interlude]
 
(G6sus2)     F#m7add11      E   E7   Dsus2/A
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
A                         Dadd9/A
Justin is the last of the great romantic poets,
    E/A                      Dsus2/A
The only one among us who is ever gonna make it.
   E                                 F#m7add11
We planned a revolution from a cheap Southampton bistro.
  E/G#                                  Dsus2/A
I don't remember details but there were English boys with banjos.
A                                       Dadd9/A
Jay is our St George, and he's standing on a wooden chair,
             E/A                                  Dsus2/A
And he sings songs and he slays dragons, and he's losing all his hair.
    E                          F#m7add11
And Adam is the resurrected spirit of Gram Parsons,
   E/G#                            Dsus2/A
In plaid instead of rhinestone and living in South London.
    E                           F#m7add11
And no one's really clear about Tommy's job description,
         E/G#                           Dsus2/A
But it's pretty clear he's vital to the whole damn operation.
         E                                     F#m7add11
And Dave Danger smiles at strangers, Tre's the safest girl I know,
    E/G#                            Dsus2/A                    G6sus2
And Zo and Harps will scamper up to victory in the city we call home.
 
 
[Bridge 2]
 
(G6sus2)               F#m7add11         E    E7               Dsus2/A
We won't change our ways, we will proud remain when the glory fades.
 
When the glory fades, yeah.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
     A                                Dadd9/A
I am sick and tired of people who are living on the B-list.
              E/A                              Dsus2/A
Yeah, they're waiting to be famous and they're wondering why they do this.
      E                                  F#m7add11
And I know I'm not the one who is habitually optimistic,
            E/G#                                 Dsus2/A
But I'm the one who's got the microphone here so just remember this:
           A                          Dadd9/A
Yeah, well life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings,
      E/A                           Dsus2/A
About fire in our bellies and about furtive little feelings,
        E                              F#m7add11
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering,
         E/G#                              Dsus2/A                         A
And they help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live.

C#m              Dsus2/A           E             A
       Yeah, the only thing that's left to do is live
              Bmadd11
After all the loving and the losing,
        C#m
For the heroes and the pioneers,
    Dsus2/A                         E                            A
The only thing that's left to do is get another round in at the bar
