Verse 1:
It's another November evening
D* G* Fill---> e--3------|
As you remember your way home B----3----|
You meet out your aggressive tendencies
On what's left of your blackened soul
You've come to this conclusion
D* G* Fill
As you're dragged from another bloody fight
You've reached the age where you've decided
That you've lived out your whole life
Pre-Chorus:
Another busted knuckle, taken down by a kick to the balls
You've wasted time, wasting time as life's shadow grows so tall
It's another busted knuckle, it's a fight you'll never win
And now you bow your head in shame, for a sin no one forgives
Chorus:
Fight, fight, you'll never win
Tonight I'll start again
Fight, fight you'll never win
How will I make amends
This is our life, this is our time
This is my life, don't waste my time
Verse 2:
Your wife can't understand you
D* G* Fill
And you've alienated your oldest friends
Breaking back and fingers to the bone
Burning candles at both ends
Tired of this petty life you lead
G* Fill
A series of dull events
A two-bit, half-***ed effigy
Of someone else's dread
Outro: x2
This is our life, this is our time
This is my life, don't waste my time
Outro Riff: x4
End on D
