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