B A F#m C#m A We used to be better A C#5 F#5 A But this is what we get B A F#m C#m A We used to be better A C#5 B A How could you forget
The microscopic view through my lenses Obsessive attention to appearances A slave to fashion, manufactured passion Choose authorized freedom or civil unrest
We used to be better But this is what we get We used to be better How could you forget
Searching euphoric pathways to ascend I know we'll feel better when we've reached the end So many truths can fit inside a lie Don't look inside me, heaven knows what you'll find
We used to be better But this is what we get We used to be better How could you forget
A C#5 How could you forget C#5 C#m G#m A Only as strong as I can manage to pretend to be B A F#m C#m A We used to be better A Used to be better A C#5 How could you forget C#5 C#m G#m A I know we'll feel better when we've reached the end B A F#m C#m A We used to be better A C#5 Used to be better C#m...
