Going for the Gold Bright Eyes
(Verse 1)
T[G]here's a voice on the [G/F#]phone
telling w[Em]hat had happened,
some kind of c[C]onfusion
more like a d[D7]isaster.
And it w[G]ondered how[G/F#] you were left[Em] unaffected,
but you had no k[C]nowledge.
No, the chemicals c[D7]overed you.
So a j[G]ury was [G/F#]formed
as more l[Em]iquor was poured.
No need for co[C]nviction,
they're not thirsting for j[D7]ustice.
But I s[G]lept with the [G/F#]lies I keep i[Em]nside my head.
I found out I was g[C]uilty.
I found out I was g[D7]uilty.
But I w[G]on't be a[G/F#]round for the s[Em]entencing,
cause I'm l[C]eaving
on the next [D7]airplane.
(Chorus 1)
And t[C]hough I know that my a[D7]ctions are im[G]possible to ju[Bm]stify
they seem a[C]dequate to f[D7]ill up my ti[G]me.
But if I could t[C]alk to m[D7]yself
like I [Bm]was someone e[Em]lse,
well then m[C]aybe I could t[D7]ake your ad[G]vice,
and I wouldn't[C] act like such an a[D]**hole all the t[G]ime.
(Verse 2)
There's a f[G]ilm on the [G/F#]wall,
makes the [Em]people look small
who are sitting b[C]eside it,
all consumed in the d[D7]rama.
They must [G]return to their [G/F#]lives once the h[Em]ero has died.
They will drive to the o[C]ffice
stopping somewhere for c[D7]offee,
where the f[G]olk singers, p[G/F#]oets and pl[Em]aywrights convene,
dispensing their [C]wisdom,
Oh dear amateur o[D7]rators.
They will d[G]etail their [G/F#]pain
In some s[Em]tandard refrain.
They will recite their s[C]adness
Like it's some kind of c[D7]ontest.
(Bridge)
Well, if it [F#]is, I think I am w[Bm]inning it,
All beaming with c[G]onfidence
as I m[A]ake my final lap.
The gold medal g[F#]leams
so hang it a[Bm]round my neck
cause I am d[G]eserving it:
the champion of i[A]diots.
(Chorus 2)
But a k[C]id carries his w[D7]alkman on that lo[G]ng bus ride to Om[Bm]aha.
I know a g[C]irl who cries when she p[D7]ractices vi[G]olin.
Cause each n[C]ote sounds so p[D7]ure, it just cu[Bm]ts into he[Em]r,
and then the m[C]elody comes p[D7]ouring out her e[G]yes.[Bm] [Em]
Now to me, [C]everything else, it just s[D7]ounds like a li[G]e
