The Facts AD ^A GC ^G but capot5 so actually DG ^D CF ^C AD ^A GC ^G DG ^D CF ^C AA7DAGG7 DD7GDGG7 G4/6A4/6DD C4/6D4/6GG You've been strung up for far too long I know you're dying to relax But you got a feeling that's growing strong Trust yourself you know you've got the knack And there's no time like the present Fore the aching gets incessant So why not just face up to the facts You kid yourself that you like going solo A freight train heading down the tracks You watch your life sliding by in slomo Just be careful it don't slip down through the cracks You were once a man of action Till it drove you to distraction So why not just face up to the facts BmtripletsAA x3EmtripletsDD x3 BmtripletsGAD A EBmtripletsCDGDGA Idleness is an inveigling companion Who whispers pleasing thoughts into your ear Leads down to a dead end box canyon I'll seed that idea let it play on your fears on your fears You don't think much of pain or discomfort Why put yourself on the rack Is it so bad for logic to be triumphant Why keep on taking the flack Your patent may be pending But don't waste your happy ending So why not just face up to the facts Why not just face up to the facts
