Congratulations chords by MGMT

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

intro A minorAm


A minorAm
Dead in the water It's not a paid vacation
A minorAm
The sons and daughters Of city officials attend demonstrations
E minorEm
It's hardly sink or swim
A minorAm
When all is well if the tickets sell


Break A minorAm

Out with the 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

G7G7
C majorC
But I've got someone to make reports
D MajorD
And tell me how my money's spent
C majorC
To book my stays and draw my blinds
D MajorD
So I can't tell what's really there
D MajorD
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


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
