VERSE 1:
C/GFAmEm
If you make a reference to some trouble, that you know
FGC/G
Can it help you keep it under control?
EAmEm
Or should I really re---consider
FC/G
My reasons for going solo
DmEmG
David byrne on Bob Costas, puts it pretty well
G#dim7
But I put it better
CHORUS:
AmC/GFmaj7/C
I still run the show
C/GG
Don't you forget it
AmC/GFmFj7/C
So I had to let some go
C/GG
Don't think I don't regret it
AmC/GFmaj7/CCG
Cause I do and I don't think I'm better off alone
INTERLUDE:
A|:-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-|

Man I could have, had a, big sound
FGG#dim7
But I love to, let my, friends down
FCDEAmCFCDEG/C
VERSE 2:
Fmaj7/CC/GDmEmAm
Fewer moving parts means fewer broken pieces
Fmaj7/CC/GDmEmG
When every other start requires a brand new theosis
Fmaj7/CC/GG#dim7
One good friend remarks with a rightfully angry:
AmC/GFmaj7/CC/G
"Jesus dude! None of us know what to do with you"
DmEm
To which I in my pride responded
G
"I've got news for you:
G#dim7
None of you have to, cause"
Back to the chorus
through the interlude, end on C/g.
