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