Half A Million

Written by James Mercer

	  		
verse 1 
                Em  F  G 
I make myself a promise 
              C      D 
Then break it every night 
    Em                C                  Em 
I'm feeling loose and life don't make no sense 
         C                  
I use my brains to build a fence 
G                   D 
'Round the claim I stake 
           C                         Em    F 
I take the drugs but the drugs won't take 


verse 2 
G        C          Em  F   G 
I took a pledge to grow up 
G          C                  D 
Then drank enough to make me throw up 
   Em             C           Em 
On all my dearly disappointed friends 
             C 
I'm just too lazy to make amends 
G            D  
With you anyway 
                C              Em     F 
That's why the pattern still remains  

tabchorus
G Am Em There's a half a million things that I'm supposed to be Em D A shelter in the nighttime G A punk running free G Am Em And if it gets too deep I reach for my guitar D And if I try hard C G I find something I can really drop into Em D And everything that was is just a thing that I can sing C G 'Cause everything is something next to nothing Em D G As crazy as it seems, you give it up and you are free

verse 3 G C Em F G Another candle to blow out G C D New set of dark thoughts to shut out Em C Em And everybody's got their remedies C But nothing works like chemistry G D So raise a toast C Em F No more sipping from the fire hose

Break G Am Em D Ooh ooh ooh, la la la, la la la la la G Am Em D Ooh ooh ooh, la la la, la la la la la

G Am Em There's half a million things that you're supposed to be Em D A virgin in the moonlight G A freak on the scene G Am Em And when it gets too deep you reach for your guitar D And if you try hard G Am Em There's a half a million things that I'm supposed to be Em D A shelter in the nighttime G A punk running free G Am Em And if it gets too deep I reach for my guitar D And if I try hard G Am Em There's a half a million things that I'm supposed to be Em D A shelter in the nighttime G A punk running free G Am Em And if it gets too deep I reach for my guitar D And if I try hard
