Intro: 
E B F#m 
E B A G#m A B 
E B F#m A 
E B A G#m A B 


verse 1: 
       C#m 
It's a contradiction 
                B 
wrapped up in a cliche 
E                   A 
It's the old catch 22 
        C#m 
They'll gently nudge 
you back into the 
F#m          E 
margins It's Do as 
             A 
I say not as I do 


Refrain: 
B     A G#m F#m E 
  Whoa 
B 
  You're on the 
ropes again it's 
A       G#m    F#m  E 
time to make a play 
B     A G#m F#m E 
  Whoa 
    F#m 
Dig deep and find 
the strength There's 
A             B 
just no other way 
 
E   B       F#m 
  I know it seems like 
no one is in your 
      E  B 
corner I know you've 
A          G#m 
thought of throwing 
A      B    E 
in the towel It's hard 
   B 
to take it when you're 
F#m 
hit below the belt again 
   E  B        A 
but I know you don't 
     G#m   A 
want to go back to the 
B F#m 
beginning Keep your 
A (hold)          B (hold)
chin up when they try 
              E   B F#m E B A G#m A B 
and bring you down 


verse 2: 
     C#m 
Well I've been called 

a lot worse than a 
B               E 
cliche And I've seen 
                   A 
a lot since I was 22 
      C#m 
Don't ever let yourself 
            F#m 
fall in the margins 
        E 
Doesn't matter what 
                 B 
you say but what you do
