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