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