Intro
Bm D G D G C D
[Verse 1]
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm D
Good things won't let you get far
Bm 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]
Bm 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
Bm 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
Bm D
Good things won't let you get far
Bm 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
Bm D
Cool kids won't let you get rich
Bm 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]

[Chorus]
'Cause the truth is

Good things won't let you get far
Bm 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
Bm D
Cool kids won't let you get rich
Bm 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
