[Verse 1]
A Am Bm A Am Bm
I had the grace of a diplomat on his best behaviour
A Am Bm A
But throw a wrench into the plan
Am Bm F#m
And I’ll prepare a statement you know
[Chorus]
F#m A
I was built on shaky ground
Em Bm
And any day this all could come down
F#m A
And toe to toe you know that I can’t keep up
Em Bm D C F
If you ask me straight up I’d ramble round and round
Round and round
A Am Bm
[Verse 2]
A Am Bm A
And I’ll put everything I have
Am Bm
On the table
A Am Bm A
I never claimed to be a perfect man
Am Bm F#m
Around my enablers
[Chorus 2]
F#m A
After the closing bell and last song
Em Bm
It’s a buzzkill when the house lights turn on
F#m A
I hit the road and sing along to my head phones
Em
Jules is dancing when I get home
Bm D C
We ramble round and round
F
Round and round
A Am Bm x 3
[Middle 8]
Dm
I swear to god
C F C
I remember everything and in the moment it all felt so right
Am Dm C
Oh yeah rewind the tape and watch it back a couple times
Bm E
It’s like Electric Circus in 1999, oh yeah, wooo
A Am Bm
[Outro]
A Am Bm A
I have the grace of a diplomat
Am Bm
Oh when I sign the papers
F#m A
We’ll round the troops on up for breakfast
Em Bm
And retrace the steps to where you lost your cellphone
F#m
These visions come
A
I see him swinging from a street light
Em
We were underneath the moonlight
Bm D C F
The world was spinning round and round
Round and round
A Am Bm A Am Bm
I had the grace of a diplomat on his best behaviour
