Going Through the Motions
Aimee Mann
The Forgotten Arm (2005)
in E; capo 2nd fret, in D MajorD
F# minorF#m
Something isn't right
B minorBm F# minorF#m D MajorD
I don't know how I know
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
But baby, it's despite
B minorBm F# minorF#m D MajorD
Your dog-and-pony show
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
I can hear it coming
F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA
You're only going through the motions, baby
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
With your engines humming
F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA
You're just going through the motions, baby
F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA
Going through the motions, baby
F# minorF#m
Feel like I'm in jail
B minorBm F# minorF#m D MajorD
With you and Mr. Hyde
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
A augmentedA guy who leaves a trail
B minorBm F# minorF#m D MajorD
About a mile wide
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
So it starts already
F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA
That you're just going through the motions, baby
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
You can throw confetti
F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA
But you're still going through the motions, baby
F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA
Going through the motions, baby
G+G A augmentedA
They'll have a big parade
G+G B minorBm
For every day that you stay clean
G+G A augmentedA
But when the trumpets fade
G+G D MajorD
You'll go under like a submarine
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
And you won't see it coming
F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
No, you won't see it coming
F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA
F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA
F# minorF#m
You could have it made
B minorBm F# minorF#m D MajorD
Up there in San Rafael
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
But baby, I'm afraid
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
I'll never see you well
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
Because I've seen the tally
F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA
And you're just going through the motions, baby
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
To a big finale
F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA
That comes from going through the motions, baby
F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA
Going through the motions, baby
F# minorF#m G+G
Going through the motions, baby
D MajorD A augmentedA
You're just going through the motions, baby
