Verse 1
(G major) This is a story. (C major)
It's a (G major) true story.
(D major) It's a (C major) long story. (D major)
It's one of (C major) those blah, (G major) blah, blah stories.
And (C major) the first five (G major) lines of this story
are (D major) definitely (C major) a lie.
I (D major) don't (C major) (G major) want to complain,
(C major) cause (G major) I know where you're from, (D major)
but your (C major) boss, he asked if I'm (D major) satisfied
and (C major) I think you're barely done, (G major)
I told him you could have done a better (C major) job,
but the (G major) car still drives ok, (D major)
he said you (C major) can't find people
to work (D major) with their hands
and he me (C major) on my way. (G major)
And as (D major) I drive down the high (E minor) way,
I'm (C major) driving my 88. (D major)
There'll soon be no one left
(E minor) to keep her run (C major) ning in this state. (D major)
And the state she's in
is (E minor) nothing like she used (C major) to be before.
(D major) There'll soon be no one left
(E minor) to keep things run (C major) ning anymore. (D major)
(G major) Tony came from Por (C major) tugal,
he ar (G major) rived at 17
(D major) He learned to (C major) speak the language,
(D major) opened a shop
and raised (C major) his family in between (G major)
His son never helped him in (C major) the store,
he said TV (G major) re pair is not for me
(D major) I'm gonna (C major) make my living
off (D major) this computer
just like (C major) everyone does, (G major) dad you see
And as (D major) I try to watch this (E minor) video,
I've (C major) got no one to call
(D major) Cause the screen is white with voices
(E minor) but there is (C major) no picture at all
(D major) And Tony, it's TV closed, (E minor)
Circuit (C major) City, it won't repair
(D major) But you might as well buy
something (E minor) new
once you're (C major) already there (D major) (Dsus4) (D major)
No (G major) man said it kid, (C major)
you don't know (G major) what it was like back then
(D major) Christ, (C major) never thought at 34
I'd (D major) earn the right to say
(C major) I remem (G major) ber when
But maybe that's just
in how (C major) things go,
they get (G major) faster every day
(D major) If you're (C major) not keeping up with the times,
(D major) then are you just (C major) getting in the way? (G major)
(D major) Could it be we need (E minor) people like me
to help (C major) slow things down? (D major)
Like an anchor in the storm,
(E minor) we tend to cling (C major) to solid ground (D major)
Maybe we should cast (E minor) ourselves
on (C major) currents and the tides (D major)
Who cares where we're (E minor) go ing,
we're just in (C major) it for the (D major) ride (Dsus4) (D major)
I (G major) don't wanna complain, (C major) I (G major) guess that's a (D major) lie
I like (C major) to sit and bitch and play (D major) my guitar
while (C major) time passes by (G major) (G major) you
