Settle For Less

Am 4x A D G Bm Em Late last night, or was it morning? Bm Em Outside the rain was pouring Bm Em A I stumbled out, I hit the ground Bm Em It's a hell of a scene but there's no story Bm Em Designed in all its glory Bm Em A To set you up and knock you down G D G D Just a reflection on my bitterness A E A E Why plant the seed and not do the rest? G D G D Just a distraction from the meaningless A E A E I'd rather bleed than settle for less Am 4x A D G Bm Em Was told at the time to just keep going Bm Em You'll fly but don't stop rolling Bm Em A Reach for the moon and hit the ground Bm Em Is this a chip upon my shoulder? Bm Em Gs heavy as a boulder Bm Em A When all the world owes you a crown G D G D Just a reflection on my emptiness A E A E You don't succeed by chasing success G D G D No reputation is worth all this mess A E A E I'd rather bleed than settle for less Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em A (2x) G D G D Just a reflection on my happiness A E A E Only compete with yourself at your best G D G D A separation from the self I possess A E A E Just let it be and settle for less G D G D A E A E (2x)
