Better Than Them

Dm

F                       Am
This is our town, this is Friday night
F                          Am
Dressed in our rags and our rage and our best
Dm                    C               F
Piercing eyes looking for something - anything, just anyone.
F                                Am
Stare across the floor as they begin to dance
F                               Am
Missing all the rhythms and the chosen right steps
       Dm                        C
And we laugh and we drink in our corner again
                  F
We're better than them
   F                     Am
Divided we were born, divided we live
   F                Am
Divided we fall, divided we die
         Dm                      C
Still we tell ourselves over and over again
                  F
We're better than them
         Am             D              Am             D
With our hunger and our hatred, we all walk this town
         F            G               D
With our fear and our weakness - just holding on
         Am            D                  Am               D
With our doubt and our emptiness and this cold, cold frown
               F     G                            D
We've got to be so important, we'll put the whole damn world down
       F                           Am
And we build the walls that we can hide behind
        F                   Am
And our finest weapon is our poisoned pride
Dm                          C
Here in this town where the jealousies burn
               F
We're watching you
       F                     Am
'Cause truth is only what we need it to be
   F                                 Am
To bring us survival through each and every day
     Dm                    C                     F
When nowhere is safe and nowhere is home - just be cool
    F                        Am
And what was she wearing and what did he say?
F                     Am
Who goes with who and what did they do?
   Dm                      C
We tell ourselves over and over again
                  F
We're better than them
         Am             D              Am             D
With our hunger and our hatred, we all walk this town
         F            G               D
With our fear and our weakness - just holding on
         Am            D                  Am               D
With our doubt and our emptiness and this cold, cold frown
             F        G                           D
We've got to be so important, we'll put the whole damn world down
   F                     Am
Divided we were born, divided we live
   F                Am
Divided we fall, divided we die
         Dm                      C
Still we tell ourselves over and over again
                  F
We're better than them
