Verse -
Em                                C
Everybody's Got Themselves A Plan
G                                  D
Everybody thinks theyll be the man,
D
including the girls.
Em                                              C
The musicians who lack the friends to form a band,
C
are singer songwriters.
G                               D
The rest of us are dj's, or offical club photographers.
Em                                          C
And tonight im playing another nambucca show,
G                                         D
so im going though my phonebook texting everyone i know
             Em                                      C
and quite a few i dont know who numbers found their way into my phone
           G
but they might come along anyway
 D
you never really know.


Bridge-


G                      Dsus4           Em7
None of this is going anywhere
    C                      D
Pretty soon we'll all be old
G                      Dsus4                  Em7
and no one left alive will really care
    C
about our glory days, when we sold our souls.


Chorus

D
But if your all about the destination,
Em                        C
then take a fucking flight.
D
We're going nowhere slowly
Em                         D
but we're seeing all the sights
         C          G           D*
and we're definitely going to hell.
            G               D              C
But we'll have all the best stories to tell.


Ending
     C          G          D
Yes Im Definatly Going to Hell,
              G            D             G
but I'll have all the best stories to tell.
