The Offspring - Half-Truism: chords

Em
One is for envy and one just for spite
     C
The cuts in my heart, they show in your eyes
 G
Don't make it better, the twisting knife turns all
 D
by itself, on to someone else.

       Em
Your self-liberation will leave this behind
  C
Beyond slings and arrows that rain on our minds
G
You'll make it better, shake it off
          D           G
It never mattered anyway.

Chorus:
    G                 D
If we don't make it alive
                                  Em
Well it's a hell of a good day to die.
         D                   C
All our light that shines strong
      D            G
Only lasts for so long.
                          D
And it's ashes to ashes again
                          Em
Should we even try to pretend?
         D                   C
All our light that shines strong
      D            G
Only lasts for so long.

The banner you're waving
Is burning and red
It's blocking the sunlight
That shines overhead
You against the world
Diamonds and pearls
Voices inside you churn
Watch the city burn

Your own liberation
Will leave them behind
All the slings and arrows
That rain on your mind
Don't make it better
Break it cause
It never mattered anyway

Chorus

Em C     G    D
I won't calm down
    Em
The banner you're waving
    C
Is burning and red
 G
You against the world, diamonds and pearls
          D                               G
It never mattered, mattered, mattered anyway

Chorus:
If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
