I got an extra, glimpse of the truth today
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA
Staring at my breakfast, when I thought I heard it say

Fighting is no good, success an empty lie

We came to take it up

I promise you, Miss, I will do my best today
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G D MajorD
But somebody keeps tryin to make me, tryin to make me lose my way
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G D MajorD DsusDsus D MajorD
But I believe, oh my darling, I believe in you
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G D MajorD
And I hope when you hear this you'll remember what we were sent to do

Verse
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G D MajorD DsusDsus D MajorD
Speeding out of the town I thought I'd lost my way
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA
Til I saw the green and ebony come a-wonderin about their pay
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G D MajorD DsusDsus D MajorD
I got the money if you still got the friends
