Congratulations - MGMT [Verse 1] G G/F# Em Em7 C C/B Am Amsus2 Am Dead in the water, it's not a paid vacation G G/F# Em Em7 C C/B Am Amsus2 Am The sons and daughters of city officials attend demonstrations G G/F# Em Em7 C C/B Am Amsus2 Am It's hardly a sink or swim when all is well if the ticket sells [Break] G G/F# Em Em7 C C/B Am [Verse 2] G G/F# Em Em7 C C/B Am Amsus2 Am Out with a whimper, it's not a blaze of glory G G/F# Em Em7 C C/B Am Amsus2 Am You look down from your temple as people endeavor to make it a story G G/F# Em Em7 C C/B Am Amsus2 Am And chisel the marble words that all is lost if it's never heard [Pre-Chorus] G C G G7 [Chorus] C But I've got someone to make reports D That tell me how my money's spent C To book my stays and draw my blinds D So I can't tell what's really there D And all I need's a great big congratulations [Break] x2: G G/F# Em Em7 C C/B Am Continue playing the verse chords throughout verse three and four. [Verse 3] I'll keep your dreams, you pay attention for me As strange as it seems, I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me The ground may be moving fast but I tied my boots to a broken mast (This break is slightly different): G G/F# Em Em7 C C/B D C G [Verse 4] The difference is clear, you throw it in your cauldron Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn, Steinways and Baldwins You start with a simple stock of all the waste and salt to taste [Pre-Chorus] G C G G7 [Chorus] C But damn my luck and damn these friends D That keep on combing back their smiles C I save my grace with half-assed guilt D And lay down the quilt upon the lawn D Spread my arms and soak up congratulations [Break until finish] G G/F# Em Em7 C C/B Am Amsus2 Am
