Transcribbed by ViviEatWorld



Intro:  D...
        D  A  D  G
        D  A  G


Verse 1:
   D
Before this world starts up again,
     F#m
It's me and night,
                 Bm
We wait for the sun,
               A                 G
The kids and drunks head back inside.


Verse 2:
              D
Well there's lots of smart ideas
                F#m
In books I've never read,
          Bm                 A
When the girls come talk to me
           G
I wish to hell I had.


Bridge 1:
Bm               
  (Get up, get up)
A
  Turn on ignition.
D
  (Get up, get up)
G
  Fire up the system,
Bm                A                 G
  Play my little part in something big.


Chorus:
        D                      A
I'll accept with poise, with grace
            D                     G
When they draw my name from the lottery,
              D
And they'll say:
                      A
"All the salt in the world
                   G
Couldn't melt that ice".
        D               A
I'm the one who gets away,
       D             G
I'm a New Jersey success-story,
             D
And they'll say:
                     A
"Lord, give me the chance
               G
To shake that hand"
G
(They'll say...)


Verse 3:
 D
Back when I was younger
       F#m
I was someone you'd've liked,
       Bm            A
Got an old guitar I had for years
      G
I'd let you buy.


Verse 4:
          D
And I'll tell you something else
                F#m
That you ain't dying enough to know:
          Bm               A
There's still some living left
                 G
When your prime comes and goes.


Bridge 2:
Bm               
  (Get up, get up)
A
  Dance on the ceiling.
D
  (Get up, get up)
   G
  Boy, you must be dreaming.
Bm                A                  G
  Rock on, young saviour, don't give up your hopes.


Chorus:
        D                      A
I'll accept with poise, with grace
            D                     G
When they draw my name from the lottery,
              D
And they'll say:
                      A
"All the salt in the world
                   G
Couldn't melt that ice".
        D               A
I'm the one who gets away,
       D             G
I'm a New Jersey success-story,
             D
And they'll say:
                     A
"Lord, give me the chance
               G
To shake that hand".


Bridge 3:
         Bm        A
  I have one last wish,
               D      G
  And it's from my heart:
Bm             A
  Just let me down,
               G
  Just let me down, easy...


Chorus:
        D                      A
I'll accept with poise, with grace
            D                     G
When they draw my name from the lottery,
              D
And they'll say:
                      A
"All the salt in the world
                   G
Couldn't melt that ice".
        D               A
I'm the one who gets away,
       D             G
I'm a New Jersey success-story,
             D
And they'll say:
                     A
"Lord, give me a chance
               G
To shake his hand"
G
(They'll say...)


Outro:   D  A  G
