E G In this world of hate and shallowness C A B Where enemies become your consolation And those of us who win the game Give up their minds I don't call that winning Say this doesn't apply to you But ask yourself first What have I done today to win the game And just what have I sacrificed Chorus: C#m Win the battle or lose the war E I know I've played the game before B F# When people were still real C#m I don't want this anymore E It's time for me to close the door B F# There's nothing left to feel Reflect on all our yesterdays My own words choke me Why were they spoken Regret for things I've said and done Just can't compare with Regret for those that I have never tried So blame this world or blame yourself It's really all the same When you are standing on that precipice From which you just cannot return Chorus G D In the style of forgotten men F C I look to my horizon E I see nothing While thoughts of guns and desecration Sweep through my mind But only coffins and bones remain As I look to you The emptiness behind your eyes Seals my decision Can't carry on in a world of jugglers Where all this thoughtlessness And bludgeonings your key to success What kind of tradition to carry on E G Blackball‚ The new disease C A Blackball‚ The new disease B Blackball‚ Your evil ways have found Their way inside me Blackball‚ The new disease Blackball‚ The new disease Blackball‚ For a better life in this High-tech dog-eat-dog existence Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C  C#m  D  E  F  F#  G  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
