Intro:
F D A A# C F

In there with the A# is a little riff:

then: F D G A A# C

Verse:
F
Some would say tomorrow is just one step closer to death,
Dm
I'd say tomorrow is just one step closer to life,
A                                                   A# C
And understanding and to know it's gonna be alright

F
So in conclusion have I made my decisions clear?
Dm
With every passing moment of my life this year
A                                               A# C
Well not exactly, so that's what I'm doing here

Chorus:
F               D                  A        A#      F       D    A
No one's on display, and no one's gonna be passed around today.

A# A A# C A# A with the little riff

F              D               A                  A#   F         D     A
I won't let it happen if I can help it, take your inconsistence away.

A# A A# C A# A F with the little riff


Verse 2:
F
Would it be right to say that no one ever truly listens?
Dm
Or take the time to understand what something means,
A                                               A# C
Without opinion, bias, without a one-track mind.

Chorus:
F               D                  A        A#      F       D    A
No one's on display, and no one's gonna be passed around today.

I won't let it happen if I can help it, take your inconsistence away.

A# A A# C A# A F with the little riff

Bridge:
A#          C                F                  A#
What can be done to change a habit born in our minds?
A#            C             F        E       D          C   Bb
First step to Kiros says to take the shells out of our eyes,
               F                               A#          C
And then to wonder, enjoy life and maybe even relax, even relax

Chorus:
F               D                  A        A#      F       D    A
No one's on display, and no one's gonna be passed around today.

A# A A# C A# A with the little riff

F              D               A                  A#   F         D     A
I won't let it happen if I can help it, take your inconsistence away.
