Intro
Am C F C F A# C
[Verse 1]
Am C
I felt myself shaking it off
F C
These times are windy rock
F
Taking a pain to the 'partment
A# C
Explaining to the pumpkin song
Am 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
A# C
Sue for defamation,
[Chorus]
'Cause the truth is
Am C
Good things won't let you get far
Am C
They'd rather see you crying in the back of your car
F A#
It's only miles that we're making
C
Taking it all
[Verse 2]
Am C
I felt myself again picking up
F C
All of the pieces of the people you dropped
F A# C
Riding a wave of elation from a dwindling reputation
Am 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
A# C
Tying weights to your shoes
[Chorus]
'Cause the truth is
Am C
Good things won't let you get far
Am C
They'd rather see you crying in the back of your car
F
It's only miles that we're making
A# C
And murder that we're taking it all
And the truth is
Am C
Cool kids won't let you get rich
Am C
They'd rather see you crawling 'round the bottom of a ditch
F A# C
It's only mild conversation, and the world will help you taking it all
Aw, yeah...
[Instrumental]
Am C F C F A# C x2
[Chorus]
'Cause the truth is
Am C
Good things won't let you get far
Am C
They'd rather see you crying in the back of your car
F
It's only miles that we're making
A# C
Taking it all
And the truth is
Am C
Cool kids won't let you get rich
Am C
They'd rather see you crawling 'rolling in bottom of a ditch
F A# C
It's only mild conversation, and the world will help you taking it all
F A# C
It's only miles that we're making, and the world will help you taking it all
[Outro]
N.G# F
It's only miles that we're making,
A# C
And the world will help you taking it all
N.G# F
It's only miles that we're making,
A# C
And the world will help you taking it all
N.G# F
It's only miles that we're making,
A# C
And the world will help you taking it all
