Maintain The Madness chords by The Jane Austen Argument

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
A augmentedA     DmDm      C majorC
I went to New York and paid lots of money
  G+G            A augmentedA
To stay in the silence and not play for anyone
 DmDm           C majorC
I picked up a bar tab and drank myself stupid
 G+G              A augmentedA
I flirted with strangers just to feel attractive
 DmDm           C majorC
I stood on a rooftop and looked to the skyline
  G+G            A augmentedA
The cloud started rolling in as I start to say
   DmDm                  C majorC
"Goodbye" to my grandfather who's at home dying
  G+G          A augmentedA
The rain started in and I was left crying...

Chorus:
      FF
I've got to maintain the madness
C majorC                     DmDm
Just so the stillness makes sense to me
      C majorC
I've got to keep the momentum rolling along
    DmDm
So that no-one can stop me
Bb majorBb
No-one can drag me
FF E minorEm  FF  Bb majorBb
Ho-ome

Verse 2:
DmDm          C majorC
I went to San Francisco with my best friend
  G+G           A augmentedA
To sing in a bar full of gay men who wanted me
  DmDm                C majorC
But they did not know me though they thought I sang pretty
    G+G           A augmentedA
I made love to the microphone so they would not feel
  DmDm          C majorC
So empty inside on this wintery night
    G+G         A augmentedA
In this city of madmen and loners and stoners
  DmDm         C majorC          G+G
And lovers forgotten in favour of rotten misfortunes with money
  A augmentedA
But I still went home alone

Chorus:
        FF
Cos I've got to maintain the madness
C majorC                     DmDm
Just so the stillness makes sense to me
      C majorC
I've got to keep the momentum rolling along
    DmDm
So that no-one can stop me
Bb majorBb
No-one can drag me
FF E minorEm  FF  Bb majorBb
Ho-ome

Verse 3:
Bb majorBb         DmDm
But now I'm here in Boston
    Bb majorBb      DmDm
In love with Downtown Crossing
            C majorC          G+G
In this very room where some of my favourite songs have been written
A augmentedA
I'm writing this one
  FF
To sing and remember
   C majorC
These days in December
   G+G
Where I have surrendered
A augmentedA
I'm not pretending
    FF  C majorC  DmDm
To stay still...
Bb majorBb   FF  C majorC  DmDm  Bb majorBb
To stay still...
  DmDm          C majorC
So next week I'll go to Iceland
     G+G
Then onto London
A augmentedA      DmDm          C majorC
And into the arms of my favourite stranger
     G+G
And then onwards
  A augmentedA          DmDm         C majorC
Cos I cannot I will not I cannot I will not I will not I cannot
A augmentedA
I will never stop...

Chorus:
    FF
Oh maintaining the madness
C majorC              DmDm
Just so the stillness makes sense to me
Bb majorBb     FF         C majorC
I've got to keep the momentum rolling along
    DmDm
So that no-one can stop me
      Bb majorBb
No-one can drag me

Ho-ome
