Am A7 Bm7 F/G x2 more times

verse 1
Am A7
back of your mind
Bm7
you’re counting it down
F/G
you want what you want
Am
you’re not worrying now
A7
taunt the tvs
Bm7
left , right , left
F/G
hear the lights change
Am
and hide in your head
A7
you slide off the side
Bm7
and curse in your sleep
F/G
you kiss your clay lips
Am
and kill the canteen
A7
so now its all gone
Bm7
it’s all leaving or left
F/G
the bees will die out

and you’ll wonder who’s next

chorus 1
C/G G F D/A
and so as part of the whole
C/G
you try’n let go of
G F D/A Am E F F/G
all that you can’t control

verse 2 – ( same as verse 1 , sometimes he plays the chords an octave higher )
cause you spent all your spin
2004 , but nothing much changed ,
and nothing felt sure .
except maybe one thing
one ominous fact
so you checked yourself out
with the crowd that’s rolled back
while you’re waving goodbye
clouds grouped in white flags
prospectors line up
cuffed jeans and messenger bags
seeing memories sold
grave plots in the glow
cafes and condos
watch’em go watch’em go , oh
watch’em go , watch’em go

chorus 2 – ( same as first until noted )
and so as part of the whole
you try’n let go of
all that you can’t control
so most of you stay
you settle in waves
complacently asleep
or a quarter awake
D/A
keep down the dertif’ in your brain
Am E F
you can’t take
D/A Am E F
truth you can’t face
D/A Am E F F/G
truth you can’t fake

ending – ( repeats several times )
Am A7
you gotta face it , oh
Bm7
you gotta face it , oh
F/G
you gotta face it
