Elon Musk Is Making Me Sad chords by The Rentals

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
FF         G+G      E minorEm  FF
Let me tell you a tale about a rivalry
FF       G+G       E minorEm    A minorAm
Grab an Eagle Number Two and keep the score
FF             G+G          E minorEm       FF
There were these two young boys that came from average broken homes
FF        G+G        E minorEm    A minorAm
With all the luxuries the middle class affords
E minorEm  A minorAm
  Oh lord

Chorus 1:
C majorC          G+G
Elon's making me so sad
            E minorEm        A minorAm
Cause I calculated the math of our birthdates
   C majorC              G+G
And I had a head start out of the start gate
       E minorEm              A minorAm
2 years plus 86 days, but that all went to waste
  C majorC            G+G
Oh, Elon you're making me so sad
                 E minorEm           A minorAm
Cause the race that I wanted to have was not much of a race
    C majorC
And I tried, love
          G+G
And for a moment I thrived, love
           E minorEm        A minorAm
But could not keep my stride up to keep pace

Bridge 1:
FF
But for a second, there's no question
F minorFm            C majorC
I had the lead in ninety-five
   FF
I mismanaged my advantage
    F minorFm           C majorC
Like a rocket ship he blasted by
       G+G
To incredible heights, incredible heights

Verse 2:
FF      G+G       E minorEm     FF
In nineteen eighty-two, on Christmas day
FF       G+G        E minorEm  A minorAm
Santa gave us each a brand-new Commodore
FF          G+G         E minorEm       FF
I used mine to make fake I.D.'s and buy beer in junior high
FF          G+G         E minorEm  A minorAm
While my foe studied every bit of that 8 bit whore
E minorEm         A minorAm
  Are you keeping score?

Chorus 2:
C majorC          G+G
Elon's making me so sad
            E minorEm        A minorAm
Cause I calculated the math of our birthdates
   C majorC              G+G
And I had a head start out of the start gate
       E minorEm              A minorAm
2 years plus 86 days, but that all went to waste
  C majorC            G+G
Oh, Elon you're making me so sad
                 E minorEm           A minorAm
Cause the race that I wanted to have was not much of a race
    C majorC
And I tried, love
          G+G
And for a moment I thrived, love
           E minorEm        A minorAm
But could not keep my stride up to keep pace

Bridge 2:
FF
But for a second, there's no question
F minorFm            C majorC
I had the lead in ninety-five
    FF
But the small ambitions of a musician
  F minorFm              C majorC
I could not keep my eye on the prize
         G+G
I watched him fly by, to incredible heights

Bridge 3:
FF
When it's time to say goodbye
        F minorFm        C majorC
What will they write on my tombstone?
     FF
Just that last little line
     F minorFm     C majorC
from the Happy Days video
      G+G
Not so good Jonze

Chorus 3:
  C majorC
Hey Elon
         G+G
I don't know what I have become
    E minorEm            A minorAm
I need someone to help change my fate
        C majorC
I think you can save me
         G+G
Do you think you can save me
        E minorEm        A minorAm
Do you have the power to help me escape?
  C majorC          G+G
Oh Elon Let me be the first one
          E minorEm      A minorAm
Of your new civilization to be saved
     C majorC
Yes I'll try, love
           G+G
I swear to you I can thrive, love
            E minorEm         A minorAm
This time I'll keep my stride up and keep pace
            C majorC
Only you can change my Q score
           G+G
Make me the first one out of that door
            E minorEm          A minorAm
First boots out on the Martian Floor to proclaim
     C majorC           G+G
Oh, that Elon, sent me all the way, son
           E minorEm      A minorAm
A augmentedA hundred thirty-nine million miles away

Outro:

Elon, send me away, send me away
DmDm   G+G    C majorC

DmDm   G+G     C majorC
Elon, tell me I'm saved
      DmDm
And then I will say

I went to Mars and won the race
    DmDm     G+G      C majorC
Yeah, I will say, I took first place
   DmDm    G+G      C majorC       FF
Oh, I rode that old heart of gold the whole way
      DmDm    G+G     C majorC
And in the end, hey, I won the race
  DmDm   G+G       C majorC      FF
