Metric - White Gold, off of Grow Up and Blow Away
The bridge chords may be slightly more embellished (for instance, I play the Fm chord as
Dm7b5/F chord and the D as a D9 to add color as I don't have a lead guitar playing with me).
I'm pretty sure this is all correct, but if I've made a mistake, let me know and I can
it.
Thanks,
Stephen Cope

Piss-poor, ridin high, sunbathin' fire-side,
CM7 F Em
We're here for the porn of the sirloin,
CM7 GM7
Get your T-bone, let your backbone slide,
CM7 GM7
Tunnel and sky collide,
CM7 F Em
Lose friends to the air waves and the airlines.

I wanna make it right,
Dm7 Bm7b5
Some future in my eyes *bright*
E Am
Hush- don't explain,
Dm7 Bm7b5
When you water down my name,
E Am
I'll be up too late,
Dm7 Bm7b5
Call me when you get,
E Am
Better at your game,
Dm7 Bm7b5 E
You haven't beat me yet.
The waitress,
The actress,
Got the skin and the bones,
With the hairbrush and an air brush,
She'd be white gold.
She asked the piss-poor,
"Why you lookin' for that party in the sky?
It's just a movie about a movie too old to die."
But I'm gonna make it right
Future in my eyes *bright*
Hush- don't explain,
When you water down my name,
I'll be up too late,
Call me when you get,
Better at your game,
Bm7b5
You haven't beat me yet,
E
Though my vision is strainin'
Bridge (Instrumental): Fm, D x3 Fm, E
I'm gonna make it right
Some future in my eyes *bright*
Hush- don't explain,
When you water down my name,
I'll be up too late,
Call me when you get,
Better at your game,
You haven't beat me yet.
