Going For The Gold Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

There's a Gvoice on the phone

Telling Gwhat had happened

Some kind of conBmfusion

More like a disD7aster

And it Gwondered how you

Were lefGt unaffected

But you had no Bmknowledge

No, the chemicals D7covered you

And so a jGury was formed

As more Gliquor was poured

No need for convBmiction

They're not thiD7rsting for justice

But sleGpt with the lies

I keep iGnside my head

I found out I waBms guilty

I found out I wD7as guilty

But I won'Gt be around

For the Gsentencing

Because I'm leavBming

Oh, on the nextD7 airplane

And though I Cknow that my Dactions are Gimpossible to Bmjustify

They seem Cadequate to Dfill up my Gtime

And if I could Ctalk to myDself like I Bmwas someone Emelse

Then Cmaybe I could Dtake your aGdvice Bm Em

And I wouldn'tC act like such an aDsshole all the time G

There's a Gfilm on the wall

Makes thGe people look small

Who are sitting Bmbeside it

All consumed inD7 the drama

They must Greturn to their lives

Once theG hero has died

They will drive Bmto the office

Stopping somewhD7ere for coffee

Where the Gfolk singers, poets,

and playGwrights convene

Dispensing theirBm wisdom

Oh, dear amateuD7r orator

They will Gdetail their pain

In some Gstandard refrain

They will reciteBm their sadness

Like it's some D7kind of contest

Well, if it F♯is

I think I am Bmwinning it

All beaming with Gconfidence

As I Asus2make my final lap

The gold medal F♯gleams

So hang it Bmaround my neck

Because I am Gdeserving it

The champion of Asus2idiots

But a Ckid carries his Dwalkman on that lGong bus ride to BmOmaha

I know a Cgirl who cries when she Dpractices Gviolin

Because each nCote sounds so Dpure, it just Bmcuts into Emher

And then the Cmelody comes Dpouring out her Geyes Bm Em

Now to Cme, everything eDlse, it just sounds like a lie. G
