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