D#            Fm7       D#/G          G#
Everything we fight for seems to get shot down
D#              Fm7          D#/G           G#
No one seems to notice, it's like we ain't around
      D#           Fm7        D#/G              G7/B  G7
They tear us into pieces and throw us here and there
Cm               Cm/A#   F/A
No one knows how much we care

        Fm7
So much pain,
        A#7sus4
So many tears
        D#
So much hurt
              C7sus4 C7
When we gonna learn? Oh
   Fm7
We got to give our best
    A#            G#/C  G#/D# D#
And push until we break on   through

Chorus:
D#               A#/D           G7
We're shooting straight for the top
Cm         A#m7  D#7   G#
Our engine never will stop
D#/G   G7/B  Cm
This is our destiny
           A#  Fm7
Nothing's too good to be
D#/G          G#                A#             Am7-5
We know the score, we're gonna break down the door
G#             D#/G
You wished you weren't much
Cm           Fm7   D#/G
This time we got a hunch
          G#
We're the underdogs

The people that we trusted really let us down
Everybody wants to fly and never touch the ground
They treat us like we're pieces in a parlor game
Leaving us to take the blame
but we don't care
We don't mind
We won't come
When they call, oh
But take in what they give, cause
We can rise above it  all

Chorus:
We're shootin' straight for the top
Our engine never will stop
This is our destiny
Nothing's too good to be
We know the score we're gonna break down the door
You wished you were at lunch,
this time we've got a hunch
We're the underdogs

            G#                D#/G
Feeling the pain, hearing the names
                 F#min7       A#
We struggled til we are broken
Am7-5         G#
For all this hurt, we thank you

Chorus:
We're shootin' straight for the top
Our engine never will stop
This is our destiny
Nothing's too good to be
We know the score we're gonna break down your door
You wished you were at lunch,
this time we've got a hunch
We're the underdogs
