Chords with lyrics
Verse 1: Em G White faced phantoms in a foggy rain Em G Minnows in the pool, the way they slip away A And I go fumbling, go running in and repossess G The story of my youth G E The story of my electric past Chorus: A Em G Are we running after flickering sparks, oh? G A Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark, oh? G The way we chase that mercury Em G The way we chase that mercury
Verse 2: Em G Loud like lions and as slick as wolves Em G Desperately we haunt the other animal A G But in the end, if all we are is dogs out back, chasing cars Em G Then pray that we don't get the things we want Chorus: A Em G Are we running after flickering sparks, oh? G A Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark, oh? G The way we chase that mercury Em G The way we chase that mercury Verse 3: D G Love, a pound of flesh G A G Offer it up to the gods of American success G Em E Doesn't matter what you are, you're only second best E Em A And that's all that you can ever hope to be Em G The way you chase that mercury, oh Em G Fragile frames fumble in the mystery Em G Afraid to be exposed while we pretend to be A G Something more than what we are A G Fools in love with punch drunk hearts Em G Mystified by everything we see Chorus: A Em G Are we running after flickering sparks, oh? G A Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark, oh? G The way we chase that mercury Em G The way we chase that mercury G The way we chase that mercury Em G The way we chase that mercury
