Diplomat

	  		
Intro: 
G D Am C Cadd9 (x2) 

verse 1: 

G 
Live to work, work to live 
D 
No time left to spend or give 
Am             Am7 
Walking like a bureaucrat 
C              D 
Talking like a diplomat 

verse 2: 

G 
Always look into their eyes 
D 
Firm handshakes, quick replies 
Am                Am7 
Push the product, sell the crop 
C                 D 
Climb that ladder to the top 

verse 3: 

G 
But what if it's not meant for me? 
D 
I can't stand the symmetry 
Am               Am7 
My head is stuck inside the clouds 
C             Cadd9 
But I can see clearly now 

 

G                      D                    Am       Am7 
I'm trying to find the means to living more passionately 
C                 Cadd9   G 
Cause I'm not who I wanna be 
             D                        Am         Am7 
Buried in routines, I don't care what happens to me 
C      Cadd9     G 
I just gotta get free 


G D Am C D 

verse 4: 

G 
I am no proprietor 
D 
Tell that that to my dear father 
Am                   Am7 
Taught me everything he knew 
C                    D 
About nothing that I wanna do 

Verse 5: 

G 
Earned awards, honors, degrees 
D 
I couldn't find myself in these 
Am                    Am7 
So I took my car keys and ID's 
C                       D 
And threw them in the ocean 

Bridge: 

Em              D               Am7     D       C 
Now, all of the world is laying right before my eyes 
         Am              D7                
I wonder why the hell it took so long for  
G     D    Am7 C  G   D C Em  
me to recognize 
     (recognieieiiize)
