                                              Verse
         C5 
As I was walking through a life one morning                          
    D5
The sun was out, the air was warm 
    A5         F5
but ohh, I was cold,                            
             C5
and though I must have looked a half a person,           
   D5
to tell the tale in my own version,  
       A5                    F5
It was only then that I felt whole. 


G                              Dm 
   Do you believe in something beautiful? 
         F
Then, get up and be it! 



                                              Chorus
C
Fighting for the smallest goal to 
Dm 
get a little self control. 
  Am  
I know how hard you try-- 
  Dm 
I see it in your eyes. 
Am  
Call your friends, 'cos we've forgotten 
Dm 
What it's like to eat what's rotten, 
           Am 
and what's eating you alive, 
      Dm 
might help you to survive. 



                                              Verse 
C5
We went on, as we were on a mission, 
D5
latest in a grand tradition. 
A5               F5
Oh, what did we find? 
C5                
It was Ego who was flying the banner, 
    D5                       A5
But Me and Mia, Ann and Ana, oh, 
          F5
we'd been unkind. 


G                             Dm
  Do you believe in something beautiful? 
      F
Then, get up and be it! 



Chorus x1 


                                              Bridge 
F          Em          Dm        Am   
  Even the nights they could get better. 
F              Em        Dm        Am  
  and even the days ain't all that bad. 
F             Em           Dm 
  And after a week of fighting, 
   Am
as more and more it seems the right thing 



G                           Dm
Do you believe in something beautiful? 
     F
Then get up and be it! 

                                              Chorus
C
Fighting for the smallest goal to 
Dm
get a little self control 
      Am                 Dm     
Won't anybody here, just let you dissapear? 
     C
Now, doctors know your mom and dad, 
    Dm          
but me and Mia, Ann and Ana 
Am
know how hard you try-- 
          Dm
don't you see it in my eyes? 



C
Sick to death of my dependence, 
Dm
Fighting food to find trancendence. 
Am
Fighting to survive. 
Dm
More dead, but more alive. 
C
Cigarettes and speed for living, 
Dm
sleeping pills to feel forgiven. 
Am
All that you can try, 
    Dm
And all that you're deprived. 


C
What a bourgeois social angel! 
Dm
Telling you you've got to change. 
Am
Don't have any idea. 
Dm
They'll never see so clear. 
C
But don't forget what it really means to 
Dm
hunger strike, when you don't really need to 
Am                              Dm
Some are dying for a cause, but that don't make it yours. 


F            Em          Dm        Am 
And even the nights they could get better...
