       G#                  D#                    G#
I know so many people who think they can do it alone
     G#                       D#               G#
They isolate their heads and stay in the city zone

B                 F#
But what can you tell them?
B             F#            F          C#
What can you say that wont make them defensive? So.

Chorus:
D#              Fm
Hang on to your ego
D#              Fm                    A#m      D#
Hang on but I know that you’re gonna lose the fight

They come on like they're peaceful
But inside they're so uptight
They trip through the day
And waste all their thoughts at night

But how can I say it?
How can I come on when I know I'm guilty?
So...

Chorus

And how can I say it?
How can I come on when I know I'm guilty?

Chorus - x3
