The bridge has me all confused, 
so I just left it as is, and if anyone 
can figure out the placement of them, let me know, 
and I'll make sure it get straightened out properly   
 
Dm 
It was a common story, yeah who cares that I changed? 
Why are people freaking out? 
Gm             Bb  
Maybe I gave in more then I should, 
F                C 
maybe I sold out 
Dm 
But the truth was I was really getting nowhere  
until I woke up and found 
        Gm                       Bb  
That morals can't take you up to the top  
      F                      C  
your standards pull you down 
 
 
F        Gm7      A       Bb2  
Was it worth it what I gave away 
           Gm7         C 
For five minutes of fame 
F          Gm7 A       Bb2  
Minutes over no one knows my name 
         Gm7        C       Dm 
Or my minute of fame, Yeah 
 
 
Dm 
I always said the thing that meant  
the most to me was my very integrity 
Gm 
Who would have thought I'd 
Bb                     F         C  
ever trade it all for popularity 
Dm 
'Cause the truth is though I've made it to the top 
I'm anything but satisfied 
Gm             Bb 
I gave up the only thing that mattered  
F               C  
for this empty life 
 
 
A(no3) G(no3)A(no3) Bb(no3) Ab(no3)Bb(no3)C(no3) Bb(no3)A(no3) 
This time I'm saying no 
G(no3)A(no3) Bb(no3) A(no3)Bb(no3) F(no3)  
This world will know what I be? lieve in 
A(no3) G(no3) A(no3) Bb(no3) 
I've lost e? nough to know 
A(no3)Bb(no3) G(no3) F(no3) C 
That life's too short to waste it
