The Ancient Art Of Always Fucking Up

Capo ♪ fret 2

Intro : C..G..Am..F G

C G
if all.. mistakes were made in stone..
Am
i’d build a wall so tall you’d see for miles
F G C
and every man and child would come to see..
G
stand and laugh at me..
Am
like you would not believe and i can’t blame ‘em
F G
it’s kind of funny when you start

Em
to think about the kind of fool
F C
who breaks his heart as often as the moon
G
shows its face to you..
Em
and i regret to say politely
F C
i’m the guy who’ll more than likely lose
G
like i always do..

Reff :
C
so tell me are you running scared..
G
cause you know that i’m beyond repair..
Am Em
oh baby i’m a master of
F G C
the ancient art of always fucking up..

G
everything i’ve ever loved..
Am Em
cause i wrote the book the study of
F G C
the ancient art of always fucking up..

C G
may i have your attention please..
Am
step right up and see the most amazing
F G C
the absolutely mind inflaming show..
G
about a boy who sold his soul..
Am
for a shot at love and gold
F G
and he almost made it, but lost it on the way

Em
the story goes now he’s the kind of fool
F C
who breaks his heart as often as the moon
G
shows its face to you..
Em
and i regret to say politely
F C
i’m the guy who’ll more than likely lose
G
like i always do..

Reff :
C

G
cause you know that i’m beyond repair..
Am Em
oh baby i’m a master of
F G C
the ancient art of always fucking up..

G
everything i’ve ever loved..
Am Em
it falls from me, like autumn leaves
F G C
the wake i make it scattered with debris..

G
of everything that could have been..
Am Em
cause i wrote the book the study of
F G (Am)
the ancient art of always fucking up..

Am G
and i’m plagued by design..
F
forget all my lines..
G
i’ve burned all my blessings
more than half the time..

Am G
been trapped in my ways..
F
but i’m desperate to change..
G
so let me know if you’ll stay..
