How high are the stakes How much fortune can you make How high are the stakes How much fortune can you make
It's funny, I spent my whole life wanting to be talked about I did it, just about everything to see my name in lights
Was it all worth it And how did I earn it Nobody's perfect I guess I deserved it
Chorus:
How high are the stakes How much fortune can you make Does this get any better Should I carry on Will it matter when I'm gone Will any of this matter
It's funny how everybody mentions my name but they're never very nice I took it, just about everything except my own advice
Was it all worth it And how did I earn it Nobody's perfect I guess I deserved it
Chorus2:
How high are the stakes How much fortune can you make [Nothing lasts forever] Does this get any better Should I carry on Will it matter when I'm gone [Does it make a difference] Will any of this matter
How high, does it make a difference Nothing lasts forever Should I, will it matter when I'm gone Will any of this matter
How high are the stakes How much fortune can you make Should I carry on Will it matter when I'm gone
(chorus)
How high are the stakes [How high] Does it make a difference Nothing lasts forever Does this get any better Should I carry on [Should I] Will it matter when I'm gone Does it make a difference Will any of this matter
How high are the stakes How much fortune can you make Should I carry on Will it matter when I'm gone (repeat)
