Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: C

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
C
Making plans is like making the bed,
  G           Am
You know they're gonna get messed up yet.
  C
And all your dreams and all your hopes,
      G            Am
They'll get spent like money, blown away like smoke.
  C                G       Am
But if I truly felt like this was so I'd have quit years ago.

        F            G                    C
So if I've got bad luck at least it's my luck and I can take it with me when I go.


Verse 2:
   C
Well life is maths and life is debt
  G          Am
And I'm still living in deficit.
  C
And I want to graph out of the red
  G          Am
And get my head into the clouds again.
  C                   G       Am
But life lived without money is better than a life lived with regret.

        F              G
So if that's my good luck I guess it's my luck.


Chorus:
    F       C
'Cause All those mysteries of youth
     G               C
They get solved by the years now you're living proof
    F        C
Of good seeds grown to fallow fields
        G              C
And now you're starving down here with your ribs revealed.
  F         C
And all your old loves became wives
   G            C
Of an unimpassioned population hugging the white line.
  F              C
You could have gone east and you could have gone west
    G              F
But you stuck to the middle so they made you the best man.

           C
They made you the best man.


Verse 3:
  C                    G
So if you lose it once you can find it twice
         Am
Just hold on tight this time.
  C
But if you burn like me inside
   G        Am
I know you'll never be satisfied.
   C
Just don't spead yourself too thin kid
    G           Am
Or there'll be little left of anything.

           F              G
And that would be bad luck, yeah that would be bad luck


Chorus:
    F       C
'Cause All those mysteries of youth
     G               C
They get solved by the years now you're living proof
    F        C
Of good seeds grown to fallow fields
        G              C
And now you're starving down here with your ribs revealed.
  F         C
And all your old loves became wives
   G            C
Of an unimpassioned population hugging the white line
  F              C
You could have gone east and you could have gone west
    G              F
But you stuck to the middle so they made you the best man.

                 C
Yeah, they made you the best man.

Chorus:
     F           C
Oh and a life without fire is a firing squad,
    G               C
I'm not going to heaven because I've never known God.
   F         C
But I do believe there's something more
   G              C
And I do have a clue what I've been looking for.
    F       C
Yeah one day I want to find the breach
      G                C
Between the things that I want and the things that I need
  F        C
And when I get there will I know?
    G        F
Well I'm thinking that I don't think so.

                   C
I just don't want to be the best man.


Verse 4:
C
Just when you think you've got nothing left
  G        Am
To write about well here she comes.
  C                       G
And just when you think you might've snared a good one
      Am
You're back on the run.
  C
But I'll keep breaking choices down
 G       Am
Untill I'm only left with one.
