[Intro]
B Am F C
B Am F C

[Verse 1]
B                                   Am                       F
I wouldn't know what to do with another chance
            C
If you gave it to me
B                           Am                        F
I couldn't take the embrace of a real romance
        C
It'd race right through me
F               Em                  Dm              Am
I'm much better off the way things are, are
F                  Em               Dm                Am
Much much better off, better by far, by far

[Verse 2]
B                                   Am                    F
I wouldn't know what to say to a gentle voice
       C
It'd roll right past me
B                                         Am                                  F
And if you chalk it up you'll see I don't really have a choice
                C
So don't even ask me
F              Em                   Dm                     Am
I'm much better off the way things are, are
F                  Em              Dm                 Am
Much much better off, better by far, by far

[Chorus]
G                                             Em                               Bm
          So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on
G                             Em                                   Bm
          And I'll keep kicking the crap till it's gone
G                                 Em                                        Bm
          If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle
                             Am
And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be
F                     Am
Able to move on
F                     Am

[Bridge]
F                      Em          F                                 Em
          How can I fight, when we're on the same side
F                       Em                    B7
          How can I fight beside you

G                                   Em                                           Bm
             If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle
