[Intro]
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Was it all worth it?
And how did I earn it?
Nobody's perfect
I guess I deserve this

[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?

[Verse 2]
It's funny
How everybody mentions my name, but they're never very nice
I took it
Just about everything, except my own advice
[Pre-Chorus]
Was it all worth it?
And how did I earn it?
Nobody's perfect
I guess I deserve this

[Chorus]
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?

[Bridge]
How high? Doesn't 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 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 much fortune can you make? (How high? Doesn't make a difference)
(Nothing lasts forever) Does this get any better?
Should I carry on? Will it matter when I'm gone? (Should I? Will it matter when I'm gone?)
(Doesn't make a difference) Will any of this matter?
[Outro]
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?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
