Intro
F#m A D A D G A
[Verse 1]
F#m 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
F#m 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
F#m A
Good things won't let you get far
F#m 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]
F#m 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
F#m 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
F#m A
Good things won't let you get far
F#m 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
F#m A
Cool kids won't let you get rich
F#m 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]
F#m A D A D G A x2
[Chorus]
'Cause the truth is
F#m A
Good things won't let you get far
F#m 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
F#m A
Cool kids won't let you get rich
F#m 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
