capo 5

D F#

Peel the mask away

Bm G

Drop the masquerade

D F# Bm G

Lose the tough guy facade

D F#

The world's a scary place

Bm G

Everybody's afraid

D F# Bm G

Whether they'd like to admit it or not

It's the truth

Sooner or later this party gets busted

And all your friends stumble back home

But you're the loose cannon

That could never be trusted

So you'll hide from the cops all alone

Again

[Chorus]

Tell me when the fire dies down

What the fuck will you do?

When the man comes around

What the fuck will you do?

Who's gonna be there to catch you

When your plans all fall through?

When you were flyin' your white flag

Who never gave up on you?

The future is terrifying

It constantly plagues my mind

Where will I be in ten years

G D

Will I be homeless?

F#

Or buried?

Bm G

Or have children and be married?

D F# Bm G

Or will I still be stuck standin' right here?

Either way it's been a privilege

To have had time to spend

With my wonderful family and friends

So I'll toast to all of you

And to all that you do

You're fuckin' awesome don't you ever forget

[Modified Chorus]

'Cause when the fire dies down

What the fuck will you do?

When the man comes around

What the fuck will you do?

Who's gonna be there to catch you

When your plans all fall through?

When you were flyin' your white flag

Who never gave up on you?

D F#

Build up your confidence

Bm

Will lead to have a breakdown

G D

And every morning that you wake up's just a let down

Find yourself a comfort or two

F# Bm

Adjust until your face down black out fucked up

G

Just to help yourself forget

D F#

The world we live in is a terrifying place

Bm G

Who will be ones who are there

When the rest have gone away

D

The ones who've turned their back on you

F#

They're staggerin' off the plank

Bm

Come back a fuckin' cannon

G

Blow 'em away

And watch them sink

[Chorus] (x2)
