Verse 1
A5 A5
Back of your mind
B5
You're counting it down
F5
You want what you want
A5
You're not worrying now
A5
Taunt the TVs
B5
Left, right, left
F5
Hear the lights change
A5
And hide in your head
A5
You slide off the side
B5
And curse in your sleep
F5
You kiss your clay lips
A5
And kill the canteen
A5
So now its all gone
B5
It's all leaving or left
F5
The bees will die out
And you'll wonder who's next
Chorus 1
C5 G5 F5 D5
And so as part of the whole
C5
You try'n let go of
G5 F5 D5 A5 E5 F5 F5
All that you can't control
Verse 2 - (same as verse 1, sometimes he plays the chords an octave higher)
Cause you spent all your spin
2004, but nothing much changed,
And nothing felt sure.
Except maybe one thing
One ominous fact
So you checked yourself out
With the crowd that's rolled back
While you're waving goodbye
Clouds grouped in white flags
Prospectors line up
Cuffed jeans and messenger bags
Seeing memories sold
Grave plots in the glow
Cafes and condos
Watch'em go watch'em go, oh
watch'em go, watch'em go
Chorus 2 - (same as first until noted)
And so as part of the whole
You try'n let go of
All that you can't control
So most of you stay
You settle in waves
Complacently asleep
Or a quarter awake
D5
Keep down the dertif' in your brain
A5 E5 F5
You can't take
D5 A5 E5 F5
Truth you can't face
D5 A5 E5 F5 F5
Truth you can't fake
Ending- (repeats several times)
A5 A5
You gotta face it, oh
B5
You gotta face it, oh
F5
You gotta face it
