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
(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

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

How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
Should I carry on
Will it matter when I'm gone
