[Intro]
D
D A D G
D A D/F# G
[Verse 1]
D
Before this world starts up again,
F#m
It's me and night,
Bm
We wait for the sun,
A G
The kids and drunks head back inside.
D
Well there's lots of smart ideas
F#m
In books I've never read,
Bm A
When the girls come talk to me
D/F# G
I wish to hell I had.
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
(Get up, get up)
A
Turn on ignition.
D
(Get up, get up)
G
Fire up the system,
Bm A D/F# G
Play my little part in something big.
[Chorus]
D A
I'll accept with poise, with grace
D G
When they draw my name from the lottery,
D
And they'll say:
A
"All the salt in the world
G
Couldn't melt that ice".
D A
I'm the one who gets away,
D G
I'm a New Jersey success-story,
D
And they'll say:
A
"Lord, give me the chance
G
To shake that hand"
G
(They'll say...)
[Verse 2]
D
Back when I was younger
F#m
I was someone you'd've liked,
Bm A
Got an old guitar I had for years
G
I'd let you buy.
D
And I'll tell you something else
F#m
That you ain't dying enough to know:
Bm A
There's still some living left
D/F# G
When your prime comes and goes.
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
(Get up, get up)
A
Dance on the ceiling.
D
(Get up, get up)
G
Boy, you must be dreaming.
Bm A D/F# G
Rock on, young saviour, don't give up your hopes.
[Chorus]
D A
I'll accept with poise, with grace
D G
When they draw my name from the lottery,
D
And they'll say:
A
"All the salt in the world
G
Couldn't melt that ice".
D A
I'm the one who gets away,
D G
I'm a New Jersey success-story,
D
And they'll say:
A
"Lord, give me the chance
G
To shake that hand".
[Bridge]
Bm A
I have one last wish,
D G Bm
And it's from my heart:
A
Just let me down,
G
Just let me down, easy...
[Chorus]
D A
I'll accept with poise, with grace
D G
When they draw my name from the lottery,
D
And they'll say:
A
"All the salt in the world
G
Couldn't melt that ice".
D A
I'm the one who gets away,
D G
I'm a New Jersey success-story,
D
And they'll say:
A
"Lord, give me a chance
G
To shake his hand"
G
(They'll say...)
[Outro]
D A D/F# G
