[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][F][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Wake,
wake, I gotta wake up
[G]Stay, stay, I gotta stay tough
[F]Shove, shove, I gotta shove back
When the [Em]world's at large
Tell me, do I fight back?
Now [Am]stab, grab the cash and go
[G]Tell me who here's hit
an all- time low?
[F]No need to rat, no need to tell
I've got a shotgun filled
[Am]with shotgun shells
For the first, first one to tempt me
Or [G]gas me up, I've got a tank on empty
It's [F]days like this where
I'm not too friendly
[Em]It's hard out there please
don't resent me
I'm [Am]human too but it's fools like you
Who [G]chain me up and then let me loose
I [F]just might flip the thought is daunting
I [Am]stick to [C]what my [Am]father [C]taught me
[Em]Father tell

[Verse 2]
[G]me what I've lea[Am]rned

[C]When the [F]meek in[Am]herit Earth

[Verse 3]
Stop, stop before you judge me
You [G]have good reason to begrudge me
I [F]know I've been self- centered trust me
I [Em]hate it too I feel disgusting
This [Am]empty feeling's creeping in
I [G]hide beneath my sheepish skin
It [F]only ends when I begin
To take the [Em]time to seek [Am]within

[Verse 4]
Father tell me now, [G]what went wrong?
[F]I haven't figured it out[Em] in oh so long
[Am]Father tell me now,
[G]what went [F]wrong?
I gotta get back [Em]to where I'm fr[C]om

[Verse 5]
Father [G]tell me what [Am]I've learned
In twenty- [C]six years since birth
[Em]Nothing's [G]wasted if it's [Am]earned
When [C]the [F]meek in[Am]herit [C]Earth

[Verse 6]
Father [G]tell me what I've [Am]learned
[C]In [F]twenty- six [Am]years since [C]birth
Nothing's [G]wasted if it's [Am]earned
[C]When the [F]meek [Am]inherit Earth
