[Intro]
B/F#             F#/C#   G#m


[Verse 1]
B/F#             F#/C#   G#m
Been there always
B/F#               F#/C#   G#m
Will be there again
B/F#        F#/C#   G#m
Bend it away
B/F#              F#/C#   G#m
Bend it back again

B/F#
It's a truce
F#/C#           G#m
Standing toe to toe
    B/F#
Yea bold
F#/C#        G#m
Throwing the first blow
B/F#                               F#/C#   G#m
To leave a couple teeth to spit out

B/F#              F#/C#   G#m
We swam out a ways
B/F#                          F#/C#   G#m
I hope we don't start to cramp
B/F#                    F#/C#   G#m
At least it's not a race
B/F#                         F#/C#   G#m
Can always float on our backs


[Pre-refrain]
            B           
Well it's a truth, it's 
C#                G#m
True in what they say

       B
It's a hoax
C#                 G#m
And you don't even know

         B
You just laugh
C#                 G#m            
Laugh and when you don't
 
         B
You just stare
C#                G#m         
And it's not even there

       B     
It's a joke
C#                G#m
And it's always a big deal


[Refrain]
B                            G#m
To people it don't matter at all
B                                   G#m
They call in all the folks that you know
B                                 G#m
And their voice is always so very small


        B/F#       F#/C#     G#m 
Aaaaggggghghhh

[Interlude]
Repeat 2x:   B/F# F#/C#   G#m 

[Verse 2]
B/F#               F#/C#     G#m 
If we lend our gaze
B/F#                         F#/C#     G#m 
It's likened not to come back
B/F#                      F#/C#     G#m 
Well hold your breath babe
B/F#                         F#/C#     G#m 
There's always one more laugh
B/F#           F#/C#     G#m 
Set a good pace

[Bridge]
B/F#                       
It's the kind a sorta thing that always wins

Repeat 3x:
D#m      F#/C#     B 

D#m
And
F#/C#           B         D#m  
When we finally cross the line
F#/C#       B        D#m 
When you're dragging behind
F#/C#                   B          D#m 
Your stroke will be the least that defines

[Chorus]
F#/C#            B        D#m 
There's always a distance
          F#/C#      B       D#m 
Between a shot and a whistle
          F#/C#      B       D#m
Between a shot and a whistle
          F#/C#      B    
Between a shot and a whistle
