Key: C majorC

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
C majorC
Making plans is like making the bed,
  G+G           A minorAm
You know they're gonna get messed up yet.
  C majorC
And all your dreams and all your hopes,
      G+G            A minorAm
They'll get spent like money, blown away like smoke.
  C majorC                G+G       A minorAm
But if I truly felt like this was so I'd have quit years ago.

        FF            G+G                    C majorC
So if I've got bad luck at least it's my luck and I can take it with me when I go.

Verse 2:
   C majorC
Well life is maths and life is debt
  G+G          A minorAm
And I'm still living in deficit.
  C majorC
And I want to graph out of the red
  G+G          A minorAm
And get my head into the clouds again.
  C majorC                   G+G       A minorAm
But life lived without money is better than a life lived with regret.

        FF              G+G
So if that's my good luck I guess it's my luck.


Chorus:
    FF       C majorC
'Cause All those mysteries of youth
     G+G               C majorC
They get solved by the years now you're living proof
    FF        C majorC
Of good seeds grown to fallow fields
        G+G              C majorC
And now you're starving down here with your ribs revealed.
  FF         C majorC
And all your old loves became wives
   G+G            C majorC
Of an unimpassioned population hugging the white line.
  FF              C majorC
You could have gone east and you could have gone west
    G+G              FF
But you stuck to the middle so they made you the best man.

           C majorC
They made you the best man.

Verse 3:
  C majorC                    G+G
So if you lose it once you can find it twice
         A minorAm
Just hold on tight this time.
  C majorC
But if you burn like me inside
   G+G        A minorAm
I know you'll never be satisfied.
   C majorC
Just don't spead yourself too thin kid
    G+G           A minorAm
Or there'll be little left of anything.

           FF              G+G
And that would be bad luck, yeah that would be bad luck


Chorus:
    FF       C majorC
'Cause All those mysteries of youth
     G+G               C majorC
They get solved by the years now you're living proof
    FF        C majorC
Of good seeds grown to fallow fields
        G+G              C majorC
And now you're starving down here with your ribs revealed.
  FF         C majorC
And all your old loves became wives
   G+G            C majorC
Of an unimpassioned population hugging the white line
  FF              C majorC
You could have gone east and you could have gone west
    G+G              FF
But you stuck to the middle so they made you the best man.

                 C majorC
Yeah, they made you the best man.

Chorus:
     FF           C majorC
Oh and a life without fire is a firing squad,
    G+G               C majorC
I'm not going to heaven because I've never known God.
   FF         C majorC
But I do believe there's something more
   G+G              C majorC
And I do have a clue what I've been looking for.
    FF       C majorC
Yeah one day I want to find the breach
      G+G                C majorC
Between the things that I want and the things that I need
  FF        C majorC
And when I get there will I know?
    G+G        FF
Well I'm thinking that I don't think so.

                   C majorC
I just don't want to be the best man.


Verse 4:
C majorC
Just when you think you've got nothing left
  G+G        A minorAm
To write about well here she comes.
  C majorC                       G+G
And just when you think you might've snared a good one
      A minorAm
You're back on the run.
  C majorC
But I'll keep breaking choices down
 G+G       A minorAm
Untill I'm only left with one.
