[Verse 1]
F#                    G#m          Eb
Just how much of this will you all allow
F#dim   E     Eb
To go on?
F#                           G#m            Eb
What will it take for you to realize you're wrong?
F#dim    E
Oh, so wrong
 
 
[Refrain 1]
Eb                                  G#m
He fought with him, who fought with her
                            C#
Who denied the knowledge of what those altercations were
F#                    Ebm
All the lies and the sighs
                G#m       Bm
This was not so reassuring
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A
But all is well and all is merry
Bm
Even when the times are scary
E                       A
Every generation is the same
 
Resulting in this fear illusion
Bm
Is a void that breeds confusion
E                       A
Leading to a population tame
 
 
[Chorus]
E
I understand demand
                              A
And know there're no guarantees
               E                                         F#m  Bm G#m
But we've been built a world that's full of small victories
 
 
[Verse 2]
F#                    G#m                 Eb
I've been waiting for a light to shine my way
 
F#dim    E Eb (Triplet thing: 1 trip let 2 trip let 3 trip let four trip let
                             Eb  E    E  E  F    F  F  F#   F#  F#   G    G
Every day
 
F#                   G#m            Eb
No one understands a word of what I say
F#dim      E
"Go away"
 
 
[Refrain 2]
Eb                           G#m
"I rule the sun and all the stars"
                                 C#
Say the sons and daughters whose parents bought them getaway cars
F#                 Ebm                  G#m        Bm
To ignore inner war that is building up inside them
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A
From the mountains to the prairies
Bm
Everything is looking scary
E                             A
But the lot around me feel no pain
 
They live their days in mass delusion
Bm
While I coddle my seclusion
E                                    A
Knowing that they're all laughing at Shane
 
 
[Chorus]
E
I understand demand
                     A
And know there're no guarantees
               E                                 F#m       Bm   G#m
But we've been built a land that's full of small victories
