WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Mike McClure - Fifty Billion Chords | Version #1
[Verse 1]
D
Fifty billion red Chinese don't give a tinker's damn about your troubles
D
'Cha move it on mister
G
Can't you see it's all a system that eventually will eat you?
D
They'll be picking your pocket while their saying "pleased to meet you"
A
Don't kid yourself mister, it ain't no gentleman's game
G D
It's a slide show I've seen frame by frame
[Verse 2]
D
And I bet you heard the screaming come from underneath the bleachers
D
Somebody call a doctor, somebody call a preacher
G
There's a man's been stabbed 30 times in the back
D
And everyone agreed it was a suicide pact
A
I saw 'em in the window waving at us
G D
When somebody threw the body underneath the bus
[Chorus]
G D A D
And it all comes down to a handful of your close friends that are truthful
G D A
And promises you made when you're youthful, they were just fairy tales
Bb D Bb D A
In a make-believe world all our own, we're all kings on borrowed thrones 'til they topple
G Gm D
And we all fall down eventually
[Verse 3]
D
Hey, I don't really mean to come down on you mister
D
But I swear it's like talking to somebody's little sister
G
And I'll never understand why we don't stop and listen
D
To the old man marching at the end of his mission
A
Odds are in your favor he'll know just what to do
G D
He's crawled past what you're walking through
[Chorus]
G D A D
And it all comes down to a handful of your close friends that are truthful
G D A
And promises you made when you're youthful, they were just fairy tales
Bb D Bb D A
In a make-believe world all our own, we're all kings on borrowed thrones 'til they topple
G Gm D
And we all fall down eventually
[Solo]
G D G D G D A
[Chorus]
G D A D
And it all comes down to a handful of your close friends that are truthful
G D A
And promises you made when you're youthful, they were just fairy tales
Bb D Bb D A
In a make-believe world all our own, we're all kings on borrowed thrones 'til they topple
G Gm D
And we all fall down eventually
[Outro]
D
