Common Knowledge

this might not be the exact chords but it works fairly well . this is an as of yet
unreleased track from conor .

[ C ] [ G ]
hes my friend but hes no friend to me
[ C ] [ G ]
ask him why , hell tell you casually
[ F ]
washed up , bitter , broken , busted
[ G ]
backstabbed everyone he trusted
[ C ] [ F ]
says he sees what no one else can see
[ G ]
and if i had half his guts id want it
[ F ]
to chase that fatalistic comet
[ C ] [ F ]
die young in the dark; thats poetry
[ G ] [ C ]
but it was not for me , it was not to be

hes always sad but ive never seen him cry

when he comes to , sure hell apologise

find his car , asses the damage

still drunk but he likes the challenge

hold on to his mind just like a kite

but a good strong win can keep you honest

fill you with some common knowledge

things when we were young we never tried

just figured we had time with such a long life

money clips alligator shoes

one more dance hes in that champagne room

she moves like a chocolate fountain

pouring , spilling all around him

makes him wonder what else she can do

how bitter sweet is loves illusion

feelings that can not be proven

trust me youll see my aim is true

ive done this all for you , ive suffered long for you

so many times hes tried to play it straight

worked and worked until his body ached

but a brand new life can lose its lustre

troubles tend to find each other

call it luck or you can call it fate

but either way its how it happens

not the way that you imagined

or go out with a bang like hemmingway

some will say youre brave

some will say you aint
