xThe Good Guys
Melanie Safka
Good, simple song. Enjoy.
Intro: A-A-A-E-A
Verse 1:
A
I'm tired of seeing the picture
E A
You're painting of yourself
A
You with the borrowed colors
D E
That you picked from someone else
Verse 2:
Maybe you're a movie
Or some best selling book
I know your mirrored mornings
In rehearsal of your looks
Chorus:
D E
Oh your cause is oh so beautiful
D A E
You're ready to begin
E A
You're going to play the good guys
E A
By singing the good guys hymn
E A
Ah you're building the halls with the outer walls
E A
But you haven't got a thing within
Verse 3:
The innocence of children
Is the manner you suppose
And you can describe in full detail
What we already know
Chorus 2:
Ah your cause is all so pretty
And we're ready to begin
We're going to play the good guys
By singing the good guys hymn
Ah we're building the halls with the outer walls
But we haven't got a thing within
Verse 4:
But if we keep on trying
Though our purpose isn't clear
We just may move the universe
We'll learn to really care
Chorus 3:
Eventually the whole facade
Becomes more than a whim
By starting to build on the outside
We're gonna fill up the walls within
By starting to build on the outside
We'll fill up the wallls within
Eventually the whole facade
Becomes more than a whim
And by starting to build on the outside
We're gonna fill up the walls
We're gonna fill up the walls within
