Chicken (2003)

G      D     C      Bm
Life’s a ditch you just keep digging
Like a game you wish you were winning
But instead, it’s all inside your head
And it seems you’re just a chicken

Do you even notice sunlight?
Sleeping all day and watching tv all night
Don’t you know? There’s places you can go
G D C C
Man you’re such a chicken

F Bb C CAnd everyone’s a dreamer like me
And everyone’s better offin their fantasies
But we’ve all got lives we should be living
I’d rather be a failure than a chicken

G D C Bm
Hope’s a drink I can’t stop drinking
And sleeps a place where I’m not thinking
But everything else is just reality, no good to me
I’d rather be a chicken

Thank god for my television
For help me make my decisions
I’ve seen that south park twenty times at least
G D C C
I guess I’m just a chicken

F Bb C C
And everyone’s a dreamer like me
And everyone’s better offin their fantasies
But we’ve all got lives we should be living
I’d rather be a failure than a chicken

A E D C#m
She’s a move that I’m not making
I want dessert but I’m still baking
And in a sense I guess that every day I want her less
But I know I’m such a chicken

Faith’s an empty house, step inside
See the dark for what it truly is, the residue of human pride
Piled so deep as to obscure all the things you want from her
A E D D
And you hope that she’s not chicken

G C D D
And everyone’s a dreamer like me
And everyone’s better offin their fantasies
But we’ve all got lives we should be living
I’d rather be a failure than a chicken
