VERSE 1
E5             
I'm not part of your elite
              B5
I'm just alright
   A5                       B5
Class structure waving colors
   A5                             B5
Bleeding from my throat
  E5                                                 B5
Not subservient to you I'm just alright
 A5                                 B5
Down classed by the powers that be
 A5                        B5
Give me loss of hope

CHORUS
C#5                        A5     E5
Cast out... Buried in a hole
   C#5                                A5     E5
Struck down... Forcing me to fall
C#5                          A5        E5
Destroyed... Giving up the fight
              A5          B5     E5
Well, I know I'm not alright

What's my price and will you pay it if it's alright?
  A5                      B5
Take it from my dignity
  A5                        B5    
Waste it until it's dead
     E5
Throw me back into the gutter
                  B5
'Cause it's alright
 A5                    B5
Find another pleasure fucker
  A5                            B5
Drag them down to hell

CHORUS
C#5                        A5     E5
Cast out... Buried in a hole

Struck down... Forcing me to fall
C#5                            A5        E5
Destroyed... Giving up the fight

Well, I know I'm not alright

Struck down... Forcing me to fall
C#5                          A5        E5
Destroyed... Giving up the fight
              A5          B5     E5
Well, I know I'm not alright

How to read these chord schemes

1 - chord name, 2 - chord designation, 3 - chord scheme

Chord name

There is the name of a chord before the symbols. If it's "*" added to a name, it means that this chord is played in different positions during the song.

Chord designation

There are 6 symbols in a designation, read it from left to right. The first symbol defines the thickest string (6th string), the second symbol defines 5th string and so on.

"0" means open string

"x" means this string isnt played

"Number" means number of a fret.

Example:

x02220

6th string isnt played
5th string is open
4th string is played on 2nd fret
3rd string is played on 2nd fret
2nd string is played on 2nd fret
1st string is open

Chord scheme

Imagine that you are looking at the fret while playing guitar - the closest string to your eyes is the 6th, the thickest string. There are 6 horizontal lines defines strings, the upper one is the thinnest string (1st string).
And there are 4 lines defined frets - no exact frets numbers defined.
In some schemes there is a thick line on the left - it defines the nut.

"0" means open string
"x" means this string isnt played
Fat dots mean fingers positions

Example:

G5 355xxx
