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