[Verse]
F#m             Em
This is not the way it's
F#m         Em
Supposed to be
Bm              A       G
Spend my day in fear of all
Bm         A
It sets me free
F#m        Em
I beg your pardon
F#m               Em
For what I do and say
Bm         A         G
I can hold myself to blame
Bm                       A
But the sure remains the same

[Refrain]
G            Em
Will success fail me?
        D       A
Will it make me free?
G                 Em
What they tell me I should want?
D          A
Is it what I need?

[Verse]
F#m      Em
Hey Mom, Hey Dad
F#m       Em
The story went
Bm                A         G
Round the burning wheels of faith
Bm          A
It pays the rent
F#m         Em
Hey sister, hey brother
F#m      Em
I had to choose
Bm                 A       G
Choose between the win and lose
Bm             A
But what's the use?

[Refrain]
G            Em
Will success fail me?
        D       A
Will it make me free?
G                 Em
What they tell me I should want?
D          A
Is it what I need?

[Verse]
F#m      Em
Come March come April
F#m      Em
Come may and June
Bm                A         G
Let the pounding seconds go
Bm          A
There's nothing I can do

[Refrain]
G            Em
Will success fail me?
        D       A
Will it make me free?
G                 Em
What they tell me I should want?
D          A
Is it what I need?

[Outro]
F#m      Em
Is there something I can do?
