Gods Of American Success by John Mark McMillan
Gods Of American Success
Tuning:G C E A
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
Em G
White faced phantoms in a foggy rain
Em G
Minnows in the pool, the way they slip away
A
And I go fumbling, go running in and repossess
G
The story of my youth
G E
The story of my electric past
[Chorus]
A Em G
Are we running after flickering sparks, oh?
G A
Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark, oh?
G
The way we chase that mercury
Em G
The way we chase that mercury
[Verse 2]
Em G
Loud like lions and as slick as wolves
Em G
Desperately we haunt the other animal
A G
But in the end, if all we are is dogs out back, chasing cars
Em G
Then pray that we don't get the things we want
[Chorus]
A Em G
Are we running after flickering sparks, oh?
G A
Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark, oh?
G
The way we chase that mercury
Em G
The way we chase that mercury
[Verse 3]
D G
Love, a pound of flesh
G A G
Offer it up to the gods of American success
G Em E
Doesn't matter what you are, you're only second best
E Em A
And that's all that you can ever hope to be
Em G
The way you chase that mercury, oh
Em G
Fragile frames fumble in the mystery
Em G
Afraid to be exposed while we pretend to be
A G
Something more than what we are
A G
Fools in love with punch drunk hearts
Em G
Mystified by everything we see
[Chorus]
A Em G
Are we running after flickering sparks, oh?
G A
Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark, oh?
G
The way we chase that mercury
Em G
The way we chase that mercury
G
The way we chase that mercury
Em G
The way we chase that mercury
[Verse 3]
D G
Love, a pound of flesh
G A G
Offer it up to the gods of American success
G Em E
Doesn't matter what you are, you're only second best
E Em A
And that's all that you can ever hope to be
G
The way we chase that mercury
[Bridge]
G Em
There must be more to this
G Em
Our desperate wandering
G Em
How do we put to rest
G D Em G
All of our discontent
G Em
Beneath the shadows of
G Em
All that we think we want
G A D
Is there a light we can't see?
G Em
There must be more to this
G Em
Our desperate wandering
G Em
How do we put to rest
G D Em G
All of our discontent
G Em
Beneath the shadows of
G Em
All that we think we want
G A D
Is there a light we can't see?
Em G
The way you chase that mercury
