            Oh yeah 



[Verso 1]
 
                   A 
You wake up in the night 
A 
Thinking life has passed you by 
A 
Try to tell yourself 
A 
Give it another try 
A 
A new life waits for you 
A 
But you're feeling so small 
A 
When opportunity knocks 
A 
You won't answer that call

Each fighter jumps in the ring 
D                      C

[Verso 2]
 
A 
You start each and every day 
A 
Jumping all your new moves 
A 
When it comes the time to pay 
A 
You can't afford the dues 
A 
You know that no one will remember 
A 
If you never played your hand 
A 
So if you think you have the goods 
A 
How come no one understands? 
A 
Oh no

Every visit to a fortune teller 
D                            C 
Ends up with a blessing or a curse 
           A                        E7                      D C A

G     D                   A 
 This world ain't at your service 
G      D                 A 
It can bring you to your knees 
G          D                A 
But if you look beneath the surface 
          E                          G 
You won't get what you want, but you might get what you need
