[Verse 1]

C C Csus4 Csus4
Let's begin at the beginning, we're lovers and we're losers
G G F F
We're heroes and we're pioneers, we're beggars and we're choosers
G G Am Am
Skirting 'round the edges of the ideal demographic
G G F F
We're always on the guest list,but we're always stuck in traffic
C C Csus4 Csus4
We've watched our close associates Up and play their parts; 
G G F F
They're chatting up the it girls, And they're tearing up the charts,
G G Am Am
While we were paying with coppers To get our round in at the bar.
G G F F
We're the C C-Team, we're the almost famous Old friends of the stars.


[Bridge 1]

Am Am G G F F


[Verse 2]

C C Csus4 Csus4
Justin is the last Of the great romantic poets,
G G F F
And he's the only one among us Who is ever going to make it.
G G Am Am
We planned a revolution From a cheap Southampton bistro.
G G F F
I don't remember details But there were English boys with banjos.
C C Csus4 Csus4
Jay is our St George, and he's standing on a wooden chair,
G G F F
And he sings songs and he slays dragons, and he's losing all his hair. 
G G Am Am
Adam is the resurrected spirit of Gram Parsons,
G G F F
In plaid instead of rhinestone and living in South London.
C C Csus4 Csus4
And no one's really clear about Tommy's job description,
G G F F
But it's pretty clear he's vital to the whole damn operation.
G G Am Am
Dave Danger smiles at strangers, Tre's the safest girl I know,
G G F F
Zo and Harps will skamper up to victory in the city we call home.


[Bridge 2]

Am Am G G F F
We won't change our ways, we will proud remain when the glory fades.


[Verse 3]

C C Csus4 Csus4
I am sick and tired of people Who are living on the B B-list.
G G F F
They're waiting to be famous And they're wondering why they do this.
G G Am Am
And I know I'm not the one who is habitually optimistic,
G G F F
But I'm the one who's got the microphone here so just remember this:
C C Csus4 Csus4
Life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings,
G G F F
About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings,
G G Am Am
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering,
G G F F C C
And help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live.

Csus4 Csus4 G G

[Verse 4]

F F
Yeah the only thing that's left to do is live
C C Csus4 Csus4
After all the loving and the losing,
G G F F
For the heroes and the pioneers,
F F G G C C
The only thing that's left to do Is get another round in at the bar
