Philosophy Chords

(ver. 2)
Ben Folds Five
INTRO  
C  Cmaj7  C7  C6  Dm7  G  Dm7  G  
C  Cmaj7  C7  C6  Dm7  G  Dm7  G  

          C              F
Won't you look up at the skyline
       C                  Em
At the mortar, block, and glass
    F             D/F#              G
And check out the reflections in my eyes
         C                 F
See they always used to be there
     C                     Em
Even when this was all was grass
      F          D/F#              G
And I sang and danced about a high-rise

(Pre-Chrous)
             F              G
And you were laughing at my helmet hat
F              Dm7     G 
Laughing at my torch

(Chorus)
C            Cmaj7         C7
Go ahead and laugh all you want
  C6         Dm7    G   Dm7   G   
I got my philosophy
              C
And I trust it like the ground
 C6                Dm7   G  
That's why my philosophy
         Dm7                      G       C/G      G7   
Keeps me walking when I'm falling down

(Verse2)
   C                F
I see that there is evil
      C                  Em
And I know that there is good
          F         D/F#          G  
And the in-betweens I never understood
          C               F
Would you look at me I'm crazy
      C           Em
But I get the job done
   F            D/F#        G
I'm crazy but I get the job done


(Chorus)
C            Cmaj7         C7
Go ahead and laugh all you want
  C6         Dm7    G   Dm7   G   
I got my philosophy
              C         Cmaj7   C7
And I trust it like the ground
 C6                Dm7   G   
That's why my philosophy
         Dm7                      G       C/G      G7   
Keeps me walking when I'm falling down

(Bridge)
Am                   Eaug/G#
I pushed you cause I loved you guys
Am7/G      Am6/E
I didn't realize
                 Gm          C   Bb  C  Bb   C  Bb  
That you weren't having fun
      F                 
And I dragged you up the stairs
      G
And I told you to fly
         F
You were flapping your arms
         G                        Am
Then you started to cry, you were too high
    Bb
Too highhhhhh


C  Cmaj7  C7  C6  Dm7  G  Dm7  G 

(Verse 3)
        C                  F
Now you take this all for granted
             C                  Em
You take the mortar, block, and glass
         F                D/F#           G
And you forget the speech that moved the stone
         C               F    
And it's really not that you can't see
    C               Em
The forest from the trees
 F                      D/F#          G
You just never been out in the woods alone


(Chorus)
C          Cmaj7         C7
So you can laugh all you want to
    C6              Dm7      G    Dm7   G  
But I've got my philosophy
               C          Cmaj7   C6
And I love you you're my friend
                 Dm7       G     
But you got no philosophy
        Dm7                    G     C/G   G7    
Now it's time for this song to end
