Rice/Rice          Only Passing Through   by Mac McAnnally
Hillman/Pedersen

B      F#         G#m     C#
Wooden porches on rundown houses
B        F#        G#m      C#
Mildewed sofas and grown-up yards
B       F#        G#m   C#
Driving past them I am reminded
B           F#            G#m      C#
Of where we come from and where we are
       B    C#      F#
We are only passing through
          B      D#m     C#
Like it's all we have to do
        B      F#       C#     D#m
And for all it means to me and you
C#      B    F#      G#m   C#
We are only passing through
B     F#                G#m       C#
Up on Wall Street, they shape the curve (or curb)
B          F#       G#m      C#
By what we have and what we deserve
B           F#         G#m        C#
And I don't buy it and they don't care
B           F#             G#m   C#
I can't say which of us is most aware
       B    C#      F#
We are only passing through
          B      D#m     C#
Like it's all we have to do
        B      F#       C#     D#m
And for all it means to me and you
C#      B    F#      G#m   C#
We are only passing through
B            F#         D#m                C#
Worse case scenario the world just keeps on turning
G#m       D#m      G#m              C#
Best case scenario pretty much the same
     B                F#
And all that seems to matter
        G#m             C#
Is the scramble for the credit
        B                C#
And the blame
B       F#         G#m        C#
Big old houses and tall white columns
B    F#             G#m        C#
Iron gates to keep what's bad outside
B       F#       G#m      C#
Driving past 'em I am reminded
B            F#          G#m       C#
The price we pay just to enjoy the drive
       B    C#      F#
We are only passing through
          B      D#m     C#
Like it's all we have to do
        B      F#       C#     D#m
And for all it means to me and you
C#      B    F#      G#m   C#
We are only passing through

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

       B    C#      F#
We are only passing through
          B      D#m     C#
Like it's all we have to do
        B      F#       C#     D#m
And for all it means to me and you
C#      B    F#      G#m   C#
We are only passing through
B           C#      F#
We are only passing through
       B    D#m      C#
We are only passing through
B           C#      F#
We are only passing through
