Bm G D A 


 
Bm                       G                         D 
Is there something they know? Is there something I missed? 
           A                             Bm 
Everyone 'round me seems to know how to live 
                      G                 D 
With this impossible burden of consciousness 
                   A                         Bm 
Knowing I'm gonna die, not knowing when that is 
              G                        D 
When we were kids, we used to get gold stars 
       A                          Bm 
A for effort just for trying real hard 
               G                  D 
Now nothing I do seems to measure up 
                 A                          Bm 
How does anyone know when it's time to give up? 
 

 
             G               D 
Everything I touch turns to dust 
             A                Bm 
Everything I feel is way too much 
     G                D        A 
Sometimes I think I'm born for failure 
Bm            G                         D 
It's always darkest before it turns to black 
             A                       Bm 
And I can't tell you if I'll make it back 
     G                D        A 
Sometimes I think I'm born for failure 
 

 
Bm            G                                  D 
One hand outstretched, the other clenched in a fist 
                      A                     Bm 
Reaching out for the air while I fall off a cliff 
              G                D 
Feeling some new kind of paralysis 
                    A                      Bm 
The bastards were right, I never felt more sick 
               G 
Maybe I'm just showing all the symptoms 
    D                   A 
Of American exceptionalism 
Bm                G                  D 
'Cause nothing I do seems to measure up 
             A                             Bm 
Who's gonna tell me when it's time to give up? 
 

 
             G               D 
Everything I touch turns to dust 
             A                Bm 
Everything I feel is way too much 
     G                D        A 
Sometimes I think I'm born for failure 
Bm            G                         D 
It's always darkest before it turns to black 
             A                       Bm 
And I can't tell you if I'll make it back 
     G                D        A 
Sometimes I think I'm born for failure

Bm                           D 
The medication isn't working 
  A                   C# 
I don't think anybody knows how 
Bm                            D 
To stop this contraindication 
       A                         C# 
'Cause I'm just fighting with myself now 
Bm                           D 
The medication isn't working 
    A                  C# 
The medication doesn't work

Everything I touch turns to dust

Everything I feel is way too much

Sometimes I think I'm born for failure 
Bm            G                         D 
It's always darkest before it turns to black 
             A                       Bm 
And I can't tell you if I'll make it back 
     G                D        A 
Sometimes I think I'm born for failure
