G D Em Em7 C G Am Dead in the water, it's not a paid vacation G D Em Em7 C The sons and daughters of city officials B Am attend demonstrations G D Em Em7 C It's hardly a sink or swim when all is well D if the ticket sells Out with a whimper, it's not a blaze of glory You look down from your temple as people endeavor to make it a story And chisel a marble word, but all is lost if it's never heard Chorus: C But I've got someone to make reports D That tell me how my money's spent C To book my stays and draw my blinds D So I can't tell what's really there D7 G And all I need's a great big congratulations I'll keep your dreams, you pay attention for me As strange as it seems, I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me The ground may be moving fast but I tied my boots to a broken mast The difference is clear, you throw it in your cauldron Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn, Steinways and Baldwins You start with a simple stock of all the waste and salt to taste Chorus: But damn my luck and damn these friends that keep on combing back their smiles I save my grace with half-assed guilt and lay down the quilt upon the lawn Spread my arms and soak up congratulations | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm C D D7 Em Em7 F# G B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
