This is my version of a great song by a cool band, Goldfinger. I'm pretty sure about most of it, but let me know if you have any suggestions, changes, etc. Intro: (played in the order given and with ska upstrokes) D A Em Bm Em F#m Em E--5----5----7----2----7----9----7---*12-12-9-9-10-10-9- B--7----5----8----3----8---10----8---------------------- G--7----6----9----4----9---11----9---------------------- D--7----7----9----4----9---11----9---------------------- A------------------------------------------------------- E------------------------------------------------------- (*Play this 1st time only. After this, play A in place of riff) The second time this is played, I believe a second guitar comes in with the bass playing these barre chords, and it gets louder as the progression goes on: E------------------------------------- B------------------------------------- G--7-------9---4---9---11---12-------- D--7---7---9---4---9---11---12---7---- A--5---7---7---2---7----9---10---7---- E------5-------------------------5---- D A E B E F# G A (Play this while 1st guitar keeps playing the ska progression) D A E B E So here I am, doing everything I can. Holding on to what I F# G A am, pretending I'm a superman. (Verse:)(ska upstrokes) D A Em Bm I'm trying to keep the ground on my feet. G D A It seems the world's falling down around me. D A Em Bm The nights are all long, I'm singing this song G D A to try and make the answers more than maybe. (This part uses barre chords:) G D A G E D G And I'm so con-fused, about what to do, sometimes I wanna A D throw it all away. D A Em Bm Em So here I am, looking older all the time. Growing older F#m Em A all the time, feeling younger in my mind. D A Em Bm I'm trying to sleep. I lost count of sheep. G D A D My mind is racing faster every minute. What could A Em Bm G I do more? Yeah I'm really not sure. I know I'm D A running circles but I can't quit. G D A G E D And I'm so confused about what to do. G A Sometimes I want to throw it all away. (Bridge, using these chords:) Am Em Bm E---5---7---7---- B---5---8---7---- G---5---9---7---- D---7---9---9---- A---7-------9---- E---5-------7---- Am Bm Controlling everything in sight, I'm feeling weak I don't Em Am Bm feel right. You're telling me I have to change, telling me Em Am Bm to act my age. But if all that I can do is just sit and Em Am watch time go, then I'll have to say goodbye. Life's too Bm Em Hi F Hi G short to watch it fly, so watch it flyyyyyyyyyy.
