G A                               G A
  Watch the band through a bunch of dancers
C                   A          G A              C
Quickly, follow the unknown, with something more familiar.
G                  D

  Sleepwalk, so fast asleep in a motel
             D               A                   C
That has the lay of home and piss on all of your background
    G                   D
And piss on all your surroundings

  Courage, my word, it didn't come it doesn't matter

G A
           A           C
There's no simple explanation
               G           D
For anything important any of us do
             A     C
And yeah the human tragedy
G                 D
Consists in the necessity
   A               C
Of living with the consequences
      G               D
Under pressure, under pressure

[Chorus]
G   F#m  D         A
  Courage, my word, it didn't come it doesn't matter
G   F#m  D           A
  Courage, your word, it didn't come it doesn't matter
G   F#m  D         A
  Courage, my word, it didn't come it doesn't matter
G   F#m  D                       A
  Courage, it couldn't come at a worse time

C                       G
  It couldn't come at a worse time

  It couldn't come at a worse time
C                       G
A                       G A          G A         G A
