[Verse]
 
(Palm muted)
         C
As I was walking through a life one 
morning
    D7sus2/C                          
The sun was out, the air was warm but 
Am
oh-ee-oh-ee-oh,
      Dm
I was cold,
             C
And though I must have looked a half a 
person,
   D7sus2/C
To tell the tale in my own version,
       Am                              
It was oh-ee-oooh-nly then that I felt 
Dm
whole.
 


 
[CHORUS]
 
(Full chords, barred)
G                             Dm7
  Do you believe in something beautiful?
Dm7   Dm
Then, get up and be it
C/G
Fighting for the smallest goal:
   D7sus4
To get a little self-control.
  Am
I know how hard you try.
  Dm
I see it in your eyes.
C/G
Call your friends, 'cause we've forgotten
D7sus4
What it's like to eat what's rotten,
           Am
And what's eating you alive,
      Dm
Might help you to survive.
 
 
[VERSE]
 
(Bass note + palm mute)
        C5
We went on, as we were on a mission,
            D5
Latest in a Grand Tradition.
A5                          D5
Oh-ee-oh-ee-oh, what did we find?
       A5
It was Ego who was flying the banner,
D5                       A5
Me and Mia, Ann and Ana, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
            D5
We'd been unkind.
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
(full intensity)
G                             Dm7
  Do you believe in something beautiful?
      Dm
Then, get up and be it
C/G
Fighting for the smallest goal:
   D7sus4
To get a little self-control.
  Am
I see it in your eyes.
  Dm
I see it in your spine.
C/G
Call your friends, 'cause we've forgotten
D7sus4
What it's like to eat what's rotten,
           Am
And what's eating you alive,
      Dm
Might help you to survive.
 
 
[BRIDGE]
 
F          F/E         F/D       Am
  Even the nights that could get better.
F              F/E         F/D      Am
  And even the days aren't all that bad.
F           F/E    F/D
And after a week of fighting,
   Am
As more and more it seems the right thing
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
G                             Dm7
  Do you believe in something beautiful?
Dm
Then, get up and be it
(less intense)
C/G
Fighting for the smallest goal:
   D7sus4
To get a little self-control.
      Am                Dm
Won't anybody here just let you disappear?
    C/G
Not doctors, nor your mom nor dad,
    Dm7
But me and Mia, Ann and Ana
Am
Know how hard you try,
          Dm
Don't you see it in my eyes?
 
 
[VERSE]
 
(full intensity)
C/G
Sick to death of my dependence,
Dm7
Fighting food to find transcendence.
Am
Fighting to survive.
     Dm
More dead, but more alive.
C/G
Cigarettes and speed to live,
    Dm7
And sleeping pills to feel forgiven.
Am
All that you contrive,
    Dm
And all that you're deprived.
C
All the bourgeois social angels
D5
Telling you you've got to change.
      Am
Don't have any idea.
        D5
They'll never see so clear.
 
 
[OUTRO]
 
    C
But don't forget what it really means to
D5
Hunger strike, when you don't really need 
to
         Am                       D5
Some are dying for the cause, but that 
don't make it yours.
F              F/E         F/D        Am
  And even the nights, they could get 
better
