Intro
C#m E A E A D E
[Verse 1]
C#m E
I felt myself shaking it off
A E
These times are windy rock
A
Taking a pain to the 'partment
D E
Explaining to the pumpkin song
C#m E
And I felt myself again reading up
A E
And thinking how I'm gonna put a stop
A
To these mistakes in the paper
D E
Sue for defamation,
[Chorus]
'Cause the truth is
C#m E
Good things won't let you get far
C#m E
They'd rather see you crying in the back of your car
A D
It's only miles that we're making
E
Taking it all
[Verse 2]
C#m E
I felt myself again picking up
A E
All of the pieces of the people you dropped
A D E
Riding a wave of elation from a dwindling reputation
C#m E
Look at the centre and the weighted tops
A E
They're trying hard to let the weekend stop
A
I sink or swim, you can choose
D E
Tying weights to your shoes
[Chorus]
'Cause the truth is
C#m E
Good things won't let you get far
C#m E
They'd rather see you crying in the back of your car
A
It's only miles that we're making
D E
And murder that we're taking it all
And the truth is
C#m E
Cool kids won't let you get rich
C#m E
They'd rather see you crawling 'round the bottom of a ditch
A D E
It's only mild conversation, and the world will help you taking it all
Aw, yeah...
[Instrumental]
C#m E A E A D E x2
[Chorus]
'Cause the truth is
C#m E
Good things won't let you get far
C#m E
They'd rather see you crying in the back of your car
A
It's only miles that we're making
D E
Taking it all
And the truth is
C#m E
Cool kids won't let you get rich
C#m E
They'd rather see you crawling 'rolling in bottom of a ditch
A D E
It's only mild conversation, and the world will help you taking it all
A D E
It's only miles that we're making, and the world will help you taking it all
[Outro]
N.C A
It's only miles that we're making,
D E
And the world will help you taking it all
N.C A
It's only miles that we're making,
D E
And the world will help you taking it all
N.C A
It's only miles that we're making,
D E
And the world will help you taking it all
