Tom: C
Introdução:
C
Making plans is like making the bed,
G Am
You know they're gonna get messed up yet.
C
And all your dreams and all your hopes,
G Am
They'll get spent like money, blown away like smoke.
C G Am
But if I truly felt like this was so I'd have quit years ago.
F G C
So if I've got bad luck at least it's my luck and I can take it with me when I go.
verse 2
C
Well life is maths and life is debt
G Am
And I'm still living in deficit.
C
And I want to graph out of the red
G Am
And get my head into the clouds again.
C G Am
But life lived without money is better than a life lived with regret.
F G
So if that's my good luck I guess it's my luck.
F C
'Cause All those mysteries of youth
G C
They get solved by the years now you're living proof
F C
Of good seeds grown to fallow fields
G C
And now you're starving down here with your ribs revealed.
F C
And all your old loves became wives
G C
Of an unimpassioned population hugging the white line.
F C
You could have gone east and you could have gone west
G F
But you stuck to the middle so they made you the best man.
C
They made you the best man.
verse 3
C G
So if you lose it once you can find it twice
Am
Just hold on tight this time.
C
But if you burn like me inside
G Am
I know you'll never be satisfied.
C
Just don't spead yourself too thin kid
G Am
Or there'll be little left of anything.
F G
And that would be bad luck, yeah that would be bad luck
F C
'Cause All those mysteries of youth
G C
They get solved by the years now you're living proof
F C
Of good seeds grown to fallow fields
G C
And now you're starving down here with your ribs revealed.
F C
And all your old loves became wives
G C
Of an unimpassioned population hugging the white line
F C
You could have gone east and you could have gone west
G F
But you stuck to the middle so they made you the best man.
C
Yeah, they made you the best man.
Instrumental
F C
Oh and a life without fire is a firing squad,
G C
I'm not going to heaven because I've never known God.
F C
But I do believe there's something more
G C
And I do have a clue what I've been looking for.
F C
Yeah one day I want to find the breach
G C
Between the things that I want and the things that I need
F C
And when I get there will I know?
G F
Well I'm thinking that I don't think so.
C
I just don't want to be the best man.
verse 4
C
Just when you think you've got nothing left
G Am
To write about well here she comes.
C G
And just when you think you might've snared a good one
Am
You're back on the run.
C
But I'll keep breaking choices down
G Am
Untill I'm only left with one.
