    Grow Up & Blow Away

Metric - White Gold, off of Grow Up and Blow Away

The bridge chords may be slightly more embellished (for instance, I play the Fm chord as 
Dm7b5/F chord and the D as a D9 to add color as I don't have a lead guitar playing with me).

I'm pretty sure this is all correct, but if I've made a mistake, let me know and I can 
it.

Thanks,
Stephen Cope

Cm7        Gm7         Cm7        Gm7
Piss-poor, ridin high, sunbathin' fire-side,
      Cm7          F           Em
We're here for the porn of the sirloin,
         Cm7              Gm7
Get your T-bone, let your backbone slide,
Cm7        Gm7
Tunnel and sky collide,
Cm7                 F                 Em
Lose friends to the air waves and the airlines.

                Am
I wanna make it right,
     Dm7          Bm7b5
Some future in my eyes *bright*
E               Am
Hush- don't explain,
         Dm7           Bm7b5
When you water down my name,
E              Am
I'll be up too late,
Dm7              Bm7b5
Call me when you get,
E              Am
Better at your game,
    Dm7             Bm7b5   E
You haven't beat me yet.

The waitress,
The actress,
Got the skin and the bones,
With the hairbrush and an air brush,
She'd be white gold.
She asked the piss-poor,
"Why you lookin' for that party in the sky?
It's just a movie about a movie too old to die."


But I'm gonna make it right
Future in my eyes *bright*
Hush- don't explain,
When you water down my name,
I'll be up too late,
Call me when you get,
Better at your game,
                    Bm7b5
You haven't beat me yet,
           E
Though my vision is strainin'


Bridge (Instrumental): Fm, D x3 Fm, E


I'm gonna make it right
Some future in my eyes *bright*
Hush- don't explain,
When you water down my name,
I'll be up too late,
Call me when you get,
Better at your game,
You haven't beat me yet.
