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 deserve it

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
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 deserve it

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
(Doesn't 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

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

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
