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
