[Chorus 1]
C                         F           C
Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck, 
C                        G
Some nights, I call it a draw.
C                             F                 C
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle, 
F               C                G
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off.
      F           C           F        C
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost, 
               F        C            G
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh 
F           C         F         C
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
F                      G      C    F C F C G (2x)
Most nights, I don't know anymore... 
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh.
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh
 
[Verse 1]
C                               F             C
This is it, boys, this is war, what are we waiting for?
F              C                G
Why don't we break the rules already?
        C                               F                 C
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white, 
        F                    C                  G
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style.
              C                  F          C
And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight,
   F                      C            G
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
              C    F     C   F      G
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I? mmm... mmm... 
 
[Chorus 2]]
        C                   F             C
Well, Some nights, I wish that this all would end,
                   C                   G
Cause I could use some friends for a change.
     C                        F               C
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again, 
F                C              G
Some nights, I always win, I always win... 
       F         C           F          C
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
             F         C           G
Oh Lord, I still not sure what I stand for
F           C         F         C
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
F                      G        C    F C F C G
Most nights, I don't know... (come on)

[Bridge 1]
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars that's all they are.
                          G
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on, 
          F            C           G
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, oh come on! 
 
[Verse 2]
      C                                F               C
Well, This is it, guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again, 
F             C               G
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands.
         C
This one is not for the folks back home; 
F                    C
Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go.
          G
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
 
[Bridge 2]
              F                             C
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love".
             F
Man when I look into my nephew's eyes... 
F
Man, you wouldn't believe
C                                       G
The most amazing things that can come from...
                 C   F    C    F   C   G
Some terrible nights... ahhh... oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh 
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh
 
[Outro]
C                      F              C             C                 G
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me.
     C            G
I called you up, but we'd both agree:
      C                       F
It's for the best you didn't listen, 
      C                         G
It's for the best we get our distance... oh... 
      C                        F
It's for the best you didn't listen, 
       C                        G
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
