How high are the stakes?

C#m
How high are the stakes?
C#m                       G#m  F#
How much fortune can you make?

C#m
It's funny
            G#m                       F#
I spent my whole life wanting to be talked about
C#m
I did it
           G#m
Just about everything
    B
To see my name in lights

C#m
Was it all worth it?
G#m            A
And how did I earn it?
C#m
Nobody's perfect
G#m          A
I guess I deserve it

Chorus:
C#m
How high are the stakes?
C#m
How much fortune can you make?
Does this get any better?
F#
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
C#m
Will any of this matter?

It's funny
How everybody mentions my name,
but they're never very nice
I took it
Just about everything, except my own advice

Was it all worth it?
And how did I earn it?
Nobody's perfect
I guess I deserve this

Chorus:
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
(Nothing lasts forever)
Does this get any better?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
(Doesn't make a difference)
Will any of this matter?

How high? Doesn't make a difference
Nothing lasts forever
Should I? Will it matter when I'm gone?
Will any of this matter?
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?

Chorus:
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Does this get any better?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
Will any of this matter?
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
(How high? Doesn't make a difference)
(Nothing lasts forever)
Does this get any better?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
(Should I? Will it matter when I'm gone?)
(Doesn't make a difference)
Will any of this matter?

How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
