It sounds best using the barr chords for most of the chords except in verse when going A to normal E chord (i.e. fight to be someone) and also in the chorus going from A to E I'm the one swinging). E Mike was right when he said I'd put up A E A B A fight to be someone, a fight to be me E But see now, I'm down Under the pavement A E A B Of capital hills and lowercase people C# A F# B As time rolls by my dreams have become G# C# That which is attainable B Not what I'm looking for! E B C# G G# A I've got the company car E G# A C I'm the one swinging at two below par E B Yeah, I've become one with the ones C# A That I've never believed in E G# A But I've got the company car E I'm the king of things I've always despised A E I'm the gingerbread man A B who got eaten alive E I'm half-baked! I'm fake! But see I've got hotels on A E Park Place and Boardwalk A B And two hundred bucks C# A F# B I pass go but, oh! Life's taken its toll G# C# B Have I won Monopoly to forfiet my soul? [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/switchfoot/49276.html ] E B C# G G# A I've got the company car E G# A C I'm the one swinging at two below par E B Yeah, I've become one with the ones C# A That I've never believed in E G# A But I've got the company car B C# All the king's horses Bb C At the foot of the wall A B They're taking pictures of G# Bb The man who's lost all of his A Masks of pretension E He's got two faces left A F# His is the one that he hides A On the left behind that smile... No guitar for 1st half of this verse: Hiding tears and fear That burns like an engine It drives him away From the ones that he loves E Mike was right: "Hey Mike! We're one and the same; A E we're the faceless combatants A B in the lonliest game" C# A F# B Ah but say, I'll wave as I'm driving by G# C# With that smirk in my eye, yelling B "Hey! I'm something man, check me out!" E B C# G G# A I've got the company car E G# A C I'm the one swinging at two below par E B Yeah, I've become one with the ones C# A That I've never believed in E G# A But I've got the company car E G# A But I've got the company car E G# A G# F# F# G# A But I've got the company car |
