Chords with lyrics
Verse :
C majorC
Made my peace with it
With the higher power
The years in the spotlight
Were good to me now
But in comes the chance of a lifetime
To quietly see myself out
C majorC
When the place was alive with it
And thick with drums
And you’d barely believe in
What I would become and
The coldest receptions would await me away
And at home
Verse :
C majorC
The seven inside
Would wait in wild disdain
C majorC
Give it unkindly to my face
C majorC
But the drain at th? start pierced
The v il of the artifice
But I was too young to restrain
C majorC
(Mmm)
‘Cos every star fire of invention thinks
That they are misunderstood
C majorC
(Mmm)
But in the crossfire of resentment I was
Giving back when I could
C majorC
But chemical highs and clear blue skies await
Honey gold lightness in my face
C majorC
Couldn’t take it farther
If I strained it any harder but I got
No right to complain
Pre-Chorus:
C majorC
(Gimme some time)
To work out my feelings
C majorC
(Gimme some time)
I’ll define what I need
C majorC
(Gimme some time)
‘Cos it’s a plain and indestructible thing
That you don’t get **** for free
Uh- uh

C majorC
Verse :
C majorC
Send my regards to the shapers of the industry
It’s highly unlikely they’ll be as blatant as that
C majorC
I got love for the theorists and the punks and the idealists
But let’s be honest
I’m only in it for the cash
C majorC
Now I live by a motto, just like Assou- Ekotto
And it’s “**** you and pay me”, it’s a line I respect
C majorC
A augmentedA below average shooter
I’m hardly Batistuta
But the vision and motivation? - I get
