Scrutiny

Scrutiny
Bad Religion
Am, F, G
One – two – three – four – five – six – seven – eight
Days go marching by
There and back I never wait for a confident reply
Am, F, C, G, (Am)
Truth is stark and leaves its mark as limited constraints
And the most difficult part is accepting what the future may bring
F, C, G, Am
It seems like a lifetime of scrutiny
Wither the path, whether worth the fee
A lifetime of scrutiny
E, F, G, F, C, G, Am
And it seems as though I can't be sure of anything any more
Am, F, G
One – two – three – four – five – six – seven – eight
Years go flying by
No one seems to hesitate or cast an earnest eye
Am, F, C, G, (Am)
Judgment comes in many forms but never scare or shy
And the litany is long as the confidence is strong in their delight
F, C, G, Am
It seems like a lifetime of scrutiny
Prejudicial waters wash over me
A lifetime of scrutiny
E, F, G, F, C, G, Am
And the words just don't equate with sense or sanity anymore
Am, F, G
One – two – three – four – five – six – seven – eight
The faces and the names
Shattered hopes and stolen dreams and no one left to blame
Am, F, C, G, (Am)
Is it possible to win this pointless mortal game?
`Cuz when death comes it's swift and my friend
We end up and the same
F, C, G, Am
It feels like a lifetime of scrutiny
Wither the path and whether worth the fee
A lifetime of scrutiny
E, F, G, F, C, G, Am
And it seems as though I can't remember of anything anymore
