Look at the battle we're in
D Bm
I was never one to pick a fight I couldn't win

Look at the secrets we keep

Afternoon tea with the impending doom
G
Counting the elephants here in this room
[Chorus]

You can be twisted but still optimistic
D Em G
Be the black sheep but not a statistic

May not know who you are but you know what you got
Bm F#m G
So hang on to the absurd

Hey, have you heard?
D
Hope's not a four-letter word

Make a scene and leave a permanent trace

Where the leader of the revolution resides

Counting the elephants here in this room
