[Verse 1]
B                      Am              F
I wouldn't know what to do with another chance
       C
If you gave it to me
B                  Am                F
I couldn't take the embrace of a real romance
     C
It'd race right through me
F         Em             Dm              Am
I'm much better off the way things are, are
F          Em          Dm             Am
Much much better off, better by far, by far

[Verse 2]
B                      Am              F
I wouldn't know what to say to a gentle voice
     C
It'd roll right past me
B                            Am                        F
And if you chalk it up you'll see I don't really have a choice
         C
So don't even ask me
F         Em             Dm              Am
I'm much better off the way things are, are
F          Em          Dm             Am
Much much better off, better by far, by far

[Chorus]
G                            Em                   Bm
       So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on
G                    Em                         Bm
       And I'll keep kicking the crap till it's gone
G                     Em                           Bm
       If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle
                Am
And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be
F            Am
Able to move on
F            Am

[Bridge]
F            Em      F                     Em
     How can I fight, when we're on the same side
F            Em             B7
     How can I fight beside you

G                    Em                         Bm
       And I'll keep kicking the crap till it's gone
G                     Em                           Bm

G                     Em                           Bm
       If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle
                         Em
And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be
F            Am
Able to move on
