99 Of Us Is Failure by Matthew Good
99 Of Us Is Failure
Capo on 1 or Matt plays is down 1/2 step with capo on 2nd:
Verse: Bm - F#m - G - D
"When we were young and hit like hammers":
Chorus: G - F#/D - A/G
Then:
"And I know it''''s real slow, honey"
Bm-G-A/G
Listen to how he plays it acoustic and you can figure out the pull-offs/hammer-ons, but
this is the general idea.
I know that it''''s bad
That it''''s the kind that they can''''t operate on
And I know it''''s real slow, honey
Painful and real slow
Styrofoam coffee cups
And bagged drugs that never work enough
And I know its real slow, honey
Painful and real slow
When we were young
And hit like hammers
I''''d write the nails in your hands
But when 99% of us is failure
There''''s no going back
And I know its real slow, honey
Painful and real slow
Blackbird come the break of dawn
The TV''''s on, I turn it off
Walk outside, get in the car
Stare at the wheel then fall apart
I get it all the time
Bright eyes to bat and hide behind
But I know they''''re just for show, honey
Painful and just for show
Black rooms to babysit
White halls to pace and wait for it
And I know it''''s too slow, honey
Painful and real slow
When we were young
And hit like hammers
I''''d write the nails in your hands
When 99% of us is failure
There''''s no coming back
And I know its real slow, honey
Painful and real slow
Blackbird come the break of day
You swallow the shit that people say
Walk outside look at the sky
Ask it to fall or tell you why
