MARILLION – Number One
bonus track from the Anoraknophobia (2001) record
Pretty little tune, just three chords over and over...
Intro:
D, Cm, Gm, D
Verse 1:
Cm Gm
You sound truly heartbroken
D Cm
You can do it, you're a pro
Gm D Cm Gm
Agony from every pore and such control
D Cm Gm D
The orchestra swoops and the drum samples roll
Cm Gm D Cm
You hold the high scream into the key change for the outro
Gm D Cm Gm
It's another number one
D Cm Gm D
And that's exactly where you're comin' from
Cm Gm D Cm
But can you play me a song
Gm D Cm Gm
For the deliberate loser
Verse 2:
D Cm Gm D
Like an Olympic ice skater you've put in the hours
Cm Gm D Cm
Learned the routines and the high scoring loops
Gm D Cm Gm
And even before you sing the sweet opening line
D Cm Gm D
You know that you're scorin' at least 5.9
Cm Gm
Here come the flowers
D Cm
I saw them gathered all around you
Gm D
Hangin' on your every word
Cm Gm
You were telling them you're master plan
D Gm Cm
World Domination
D Cm Gm D Cm
Any way you can
Chorus:
Gm D Cm Gm
Don't you ever wonder if this will to win is a weakness?
D Cm Gm D
Don't you ever wonder if this will to win is a weakness?
Cm Gm D Cm
Don't you ever wonder if this will to win is a weakness?
Gm D Cm Gm
Don't you ever wonder...
