Cynicism

by Josh Garrels
Josh Garrels

Biography:

Josh Garrels (born Joshua Michael Garrels on September 25, 1980) is an American singer-songwriter.

Garrels has been a lot of things: son of a hippie commune, skater boy,
suburban drug dealer, music/design student, coffee roaster, urban shepherd, and now nation- and globe-trotting minstrel of hope and healing.

He is also a beacon of light in a marketplace rife with artists who, whether wanting to acquire fame or just their next meals, have sold

[NOTE]
The baseline is much more involved than the chords listed below. The F chord in the verses is pretty subtle
(so I could have it wrong); it’s more obvious in the second paragraph (the bridge)
starting “Don’t stand alone…” Switching back and forth between Am and G works just as well.

[Intro]
Am G Am G Am G Am G

[Verse 1]
Am G F
Cynicism is the sickness of my culture
Am G F
We undress each other with an evil eye
Am G F
Concentric circles we look like vultures
Am G F
When we feast on the failures of the lives we criticize

[Bridge 1]
Am G F
Don't stand alone and cast your stones at her
Am G F
Unless you think you're innocent yourself
Am G F
The measure that we use to condemn men
Am G F
Will be the same that's poured out upon our heads

[Chorus]
G A
We've all gone astray
D C (F) G
We kick against the pricks so convinced we know the way
A
But who can repay
D F G A
The love we sacrificed for an empire made of clay
D G C (C)
No no, no no…….
A D G C Am G Am G
No no, no no…….

[Verse 2]
Am G F
Self-promotions how we function in this culture
Am G F
We fight for the spotlight with a peacocks pride
Am G F
And then condescend to all the lesser men
Am G F
From thrones we make of payed accolades and a compromise

[Bridge 2]
Am G F
There is no power that a man can have
Am G F
Unless it's given to him from above
Am G F
Our ladders of success descend to hell
Am G F
Don't sell your soul and lose your one true love

[Chorus]
G A
We've all gone astray
D C (F) G
We kick against the pricks so convinced we know the way
A
But who can repay
D F G
The love we sacrificed for an empire made of clay
G A
We've all gone astray
D C (F) G
We kick against the pricks so convinced we know the way
A
But who can repay
D F G A
The love we sacrificed to be kings for a day
D G C (C)
No no, no no…….
A D G C
No no, no no…….
A D G C
No no, no no…….
A D G C A
No no, no no…….
