C#
It's the new standard of
G#
Living on a thinner thread
B
And the new look now is wanting more but have a little less
C#
The new you isn't who
G#
You thought you knew but it's what's left
B
Let me catch my breath
B
Let me try and start explaining this
C#
We always say we want to have it bigger
G#
We always say we want to have it better
B
Take a look around
B
Setting ourselves up to hold this down
C#
We wait around for something better
G#
And we always wanted something bigger
B
But we don't work for it
B
Cause we know it's much too big a risk

[Chorus]
F  G#  A# C#

G#
It's a long shot
       F#      C#        G#
And my chances can't get worse
G#
And the truth stings
        F#       C#    G#
Ringing out with every word
A#                    C#    G#
It's ringing out with every word

[Verse 2]
C#
If you knew the future of
G#
Exactly what lies ahead
B
Would you change a bit or still let it lead you by the wrist
C#
And we pace and we wait
G#
For the weights to crush what's left
B
Let me take the hit
B
Let me see if I unravel this
C#
We wait around for the easy answers
G#
And we ignore what really matters
B
We let the past sink in
B
But never learned it's much too big a risk

F  G#  A# C#

C#
It's too big a risk

F  G#  A# C#


[Chorus]

G#
It's a long shot
       F#      C#        G#
And my chances can't get worse
G#
And the truth stings
        F#       C#    G#
Ringing out with every word
G#
It's a long shot
       F#      C#        G#
And my chances can't get worse
G#
And the truth stings
        F#       C#    G#
Ringing out with every word
A#                    C#    G#
It's ringing out with every word
