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