INTRO
E C#m A B
Away with the lEights and dC#mown
with eAvery last remaining converBsational height
are we Eout of sC#might
I’m nAot about to let this keep me Bup in the night
Oh we hEappy fC#mew
we cAondescending congregating pBarty of fools
any wEords wilC#ml do
a strAeaking and a stocking in a rBoom with a view
And I’ve C#mdone
I’ve done what I G#could
To black-and-wEhiten down technicF#7olorhood
But I kC#mnow, I got to be gG#ood
If I wanna cEatch the break that
I F#7know I should
Yes I Ashould, yes I sBhould
Have run away while I could
E C#m A B
Four years and a wEeek To coC#mmplete
What DAamon or Gonzales would have dBone in a day
Here’s to Eour defC#meat
We'll sugAarcoat it all to cut the mBeaning away
This is aEll so C#mwell
As loAng as we get all the leeway neBeded to think
We are hEooks and cC#mowbells
I hoApe this ends up in a Kenzo aBdvertisement
And I’ve C#mdone
I’ve done what I G#could
To black-and-wEhiten down technicF#7olorhood
But I kC#mnow, I got to be gG#ood
If I wanna cEatch the break that
I F#7know I should
Yes I Ashould, yes I sBhould
