E           G#m
What's the difference
A          B
of never knowing at all?
E          G#m  A
When every step I take
   B
is always too small
E    G#m         A        B
Maybe it's just something I
         E        G#m
can't admit but lately
   A               B
I feel as I don't give a shit

Chorus:
E
Motivation such
an aggravation
B
Accusations don't
know how to take them
E
Inspiration's getting
hard to fake it
A              B
Concentration never
hard to break it
 A         B
Situation never what
you want it to be

What's the point of never making mistakes?
Self-indulgence, such a hard habit to break
It's all just a waste of time in the end
Don't care, so why should I even pretend?

Chorus

E B        A
Nothing's new
everything's the same
E         B           A
Keeps on dragging me down
it's getting kind of lame
E        B         A
Falling further behind
there's nothing to explain
   F#m
No matter what
         A
you say nothing's
gonna change my mind

C#m
Can't depend on doubt
B
until the end
               E
It seems like leaving
friends has become
             B
This years trend and
though I can't pretend
      A
I'm framed to be this way
      B
It's not the same
but who's to blame
For all the stupid
things I never said

Motivation's such an aggravation
Accusations, don't know how to take them
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it
Concentration, never hard to break it
Motivation's such an aggravation
Accusations, don't know how to take them
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it
Concentration,
situation never what you want it to be

B          G#m A         E G#m A E G#m A E G#m A
Never what you wanted to be
B          G#m A         E
Never what you wanted to be
