intro :
E C#m B7 E

E C#m B7 E
we know the galaxy’s full of black holes
E C#m B7 E
we don’t know which ones have the pay tolls
D A E C#m B7 E
ooh take a look out , take a look inside

E C#m B7 E
this is whole new kind of illusion
E C#m B7 B7
based on a brand new kind of confusion
D A E C#m B7 E
built on wise decisions , based on foolish pride
D A E C#m B7 E
and you wonder why you wasted all this time
D A E C#m B7 E
ooh trying to find gold in a salt mine

D A
and now you’ve reach the limit
C#m B
but the limit is the sky
A
oh straight up one more
D E C#m B7 E
straight up one more time

this is a character assassination
this is a character that needs a vacation
too soon , too long , too much for one mind

we got to step back and take inventory
you’re only seeing one side of the story
and a good story is changing all the time
there is always one more sucker doing fine
one more trucker driving that white line
delivering nothing to no one everywhere

D A
delivering nothing
C#m B
to no one everywhere

A
oh straight up one more
D E C#m B7 E
straight up one more time

D
oh straight up one more
A E C#m B7 E
straight up one more time

D A E

E
it’s much easy to give up
it’s much hard to get up
D A E C#m B7 E
to another day just like yesterday
D A E C#m B7 E
and this time there is no escape this time
D A E C#m B7 E
and any explanation would be fine
D A
and now you’ve reach the limit
C#m B
but the limit is the sky

A
oh straight up one more
D E C#m B7 E
straight up one more time

D
oh straight up one more
A E C#m B7 E
straight up one more time

A
oh straight up one more
D E C#m B7 E
straight up one more time

D
oh straight up one more
A E C#m B7 E
straight up one more time
