Road To Joy

By Bright Eyes

Key of C Spotify

[Verse 1] C The sun came up with no conclusion It's flowers sleeping in their beds The cities cometary's humming I'm wide-awake, it's morning C I have my drugs, I have my woman They keep away my loneliness My parents have they have their religion But sleep in separate houses
[Chorus] Em Am I read the body count out of the paper F G C And now it's written all over my face Em Am No one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter F G C Sometimes that's just the most comfortable place
[Verse 2] C So I'm drinking, breathing, writing, singing Everyday up on the clock My mind races with all my longings But cant keep up with what I got C I hope I don't sound too ungrateful What history gave modern man The telephone to talk to strangers Machine guns and the camera lens
[Chorus] Em Am So when you're asked to fight a war that's over nothing F G C It's best to join the side that's gonna win Em Am And no one's sure how all of this got started F G C But we're gonna make them goddam certain how its gonna end C Oh ya we will, oh ya we will!
[Verse 3] C Well I could have been a famous singer If I had someone else's voice But failure's always sounded better Lets fuck it up boys, make some noise! C The sun came up with no conclusion It's flowers sleeping in their beds The cities cometary's humming I'm wide-awake, it's morning
