Some Nights

	  		
F               C      F              C        F               C        G 
Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck; some nights, I call it a Draw 
F               C            F                 C 
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle 
F              C                 G 
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off 

       F         C           F         C 
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost 
             F         C         G 
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for 
F          C          F        C 
What do I stand for? What do I stand for? 
F              C              G 
Most nights, I don't know any-more... 

This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for? 
Why don't we break the rules already? 
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white 
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack 
My style 

And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight 
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am 
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I? 

Some nights, I wish that this all would end 
Cause I could use some friends for a change 
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again 
Some nights, I always win 
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost 
Oh Lord, I still don't know what I stand for 
What do I stand for? What do I stand for? 
Most nights, I don't know... 

So this is it? I sold my soul for this? 
Washed my hands of that for this? 
I miss my mom and dad for this? 

No. When I see stars, when I see stars, that's all they are 
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan, so come on 
Oh, come on. Oh, come on. 

That is it, guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again 
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands 
This is not one for the folks back home; I'm sorry to leave, mom, I had to 
Go 
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun? 

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love" 
But when I look into my nephew's eyes... 
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from... 
Some terrible nights. 

The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me 
I called you up, but we'd both agree 
It's for the best you didn't listen 
It's for the best we get our distance...
