Road To Joy
By Bright Eyes
[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
