Biography:
The New Pornographers are a Canadian indie rock group formed in 1997 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Their sound is influenced by that of such power pop bands as The Cars and Cheap Trick, but they use much more sophisticated rhythms and chord changes. Although it was widely reported that the New Pornographers got their name from a pamphlet put out by televangelist Jimmy Swaggart condemning rock ‘n’ roll as “the new pornography,” Carl Newman

[Intro]
Bb Gm
[Verse 1]
Bb
I'm flying, feeling the ceiling, I'm barely dealing them
Bb
The faces of faintest appraises, are too revealing
Gm
Such a waste of a beautiful day, someone should say
Gm
it's such a waste of the only impossible logical way, and
Bb
I'm flying arms open, I wasn't hoping for it
Bb
When I was hoping for freedom, you couldn't beat 'em
Gm
So you crumbled, you doubled your dosage,
Gm
You want to go to the inhibitor blocking the passage, The thing is massive
[Bridge]
F Gm F
And the sky will come for you once, just sit tight until it's done
Gm F
The sky will come for you once, just sit tight until it's done
[Verse 2]
Bb
Got so hooked on a feeling, I started dealing
Bb
In a stage of green sort of maddening,
Gm
I got a stand that every radio buzzing it wasn't a dream of the moment,
Gm
Wasn't a current to carry me, keeping me going
[Chorus]
Bb Dm Gm F
Only want to get to work, but every morning I'm too sick to drive
Bb Dm Gm F
Suffering whiteout conditions, forget the mission just get out alive
Bb Dm Gm F
Only want to glean the purpose, don't need to scratch the surface, raise the cloud
Bb Dm Gm F
Suffering whiteout conditions, forget your mission just get out somehow
[Post-Chorus]
Bb Gm
[Verse 3]
Bb
Everywhere's suddenly busy, suddenly dizzy,
Bb
You're so easy it's pushing you over, they're taking tours of
Gm
The treacherous trip of the badlands, you have your demands
Gm
Maybe you're right, but nothing, it's just a bad hand
[Chorus]
Bb Dm Gm F
Only want to get to work, but every morning I'm too sick to drive
Bb Dm Gm F
Suffering whiteout conditions, forget the mission just get out alive
Bb Dm Gm F
Only want to glean the purpose, don't need to scratch the surface, raise the cloud
Bb Dm Gm F
Suffering whiteout conditions, forget your mission just get out somehow
[Post-Chorus]
Bb Gm
[Verse 4]
Bb
I'm flying like a fly on the ceiling, I see myself in a revival it suddenly hits me
Bb Gm
It's going viral, such a waste of a beautiful day, someone should say
Gm
It's such a waste of the only impossible logical way and
Bb
Got so hooked on a feeling, I started dealing
Bb
But the days spent kicking the cages, are too revealing
Gm
So committed to your misfortune, but still a cheater
Gm
Such a waste of a beautiful day, wish you could be here
