Congratulations Acordes

[Intro]
G D/F# Em D C G/B Am
 
[Verse 1]
G D/F#        Em
  Dead in the water
C          G/B    D
It's not a paid vacation
G   D/F#     Em                  C
The sons and daughters of city officials
 G/B          D
Attend demonstrations
G    D/F#     Em
It's hardly a sink or swim
     C                  D
When all is well if the ticket sells
 
[Break 1]
G D/F# Em D C G/B Am
 
[Verse 2]
G D/F#       Em
  Out with a wimper
C          G/B       D
It's not a blaze of glory
G        D/F#           Em
You look down from your temple
            C         G/B        D
As people endeavor to make it a story
G    D/F#    Em
And chisel a marble word
    C                   D
But all is lost if it's never heard
 
[Break 2]
G C7 G G7
 
[Chorus]
C
But I've got someone to make reports
     D
That tell me how my money's spent
C
To book my stays and draw my blinds
   D
So I can't see what's really there
D
And all I need's a great big congratulations
 
G D/F# Em D C G/B Am
 
[Verse 3]
G    D/F#       Em
I'll keep your dreams
C         G/B     D
You pay attention for me
G   D/F#         Em
As strange as it seems
              C          G/B        D
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
G    D/F#         Em
The ground may be moving fast
      C                  D
But I tied my boots to a broken mast
 
[Break 1]
G D/F# Em C D
 
[Verse 4]
G    D/F#          Em
The difference is clear
C            G/B     D
You throw it in your cauldron
G D/F#     Em               C
  Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn
  G/B         D
Steinways and Baldwins
G     D/F#       Em              C
You start with a simple stock of all the waste
    D
And salt to taste
 
[Break 2]
G C7 G G7
 
[Chorus 2]
C
But damn my luck and damn these friends
      D
That keep on combing back their smiles
C
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
    D
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
D
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
