Verse 1:

Em                          A         
We the people fight for our existence

Em                                     A     
We don't claim to be perfect but we're free

Em                                A
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance

Em                               A
Fading like the stars we wish to be

Bridge:
                  D                G
You know I didn't mean what I just said

       Em                                   A
But my God woke up on the wrong side of His bed

Chorus:
       G         D         A                   Em       D       G                                 
'Cause little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of


          D          A                   Em   D             G                               
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off


          D           A              Em      D        G                               
Little by little you have to give it all, in all your life

            D           C          G                 A 
And all the time I just ask myself why you're really here?


Em                        A
True perfection has to be imperfect

Em                                        A     
I know that that sounds foolish, but it's true

Em                                      A
The day has come and now you'll have to accept

Em                                   A
The life inside your head we give to you

Bridge:
                  D                G
You know I didn't mean what I just said

       Em                                   A
But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed

Chorus:
       G         D         A                   Em       D       G                                 
'Cause little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of


          D          A                   Em   D             G                               
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off

Little by little you have to give it all, in all your life

            D           C          G                 A 
And all the time I just ask myself why you're really here
