The Message by Johnny Manchild and The Poor Bastards
The Message
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Eb
Capo:1st fret
[Intro]
Dmaj7
[Verse 1]
D F#m
He wrote another letter, carved a silhouette
Em G A
He knows somewhere she wanders but he hasn't found her yet
D F#m
The syllogism of all purity and truth
Em G A N.C.
An image blurring further every day you wait from youth
D F#m
He carved another letter into his shaking arm
Em G A
The memory that lingered that shouldn't do him harm
D F#m
The message man he's simple, complex, and up to taste
Em G A
Got 20/20 vision getting lost along the way
D Bm F#m G A (x2)
[Verse 2]
D F#m
The spring that turn to summer, the summer burns to ash
Em G A
It buries underneath him 'til the winter comes to pass
D F#m
It sprouts into the meadows of poltergeists and ghouls
Em G A
Condemning us to living in the making of a fool
D F#m
You tow me up a valley, you walk the city streets
Em G A
You'll find yourself in everywhere above your swollen feet
D F#m
One foot follows the other, it never gets away
Em G A
Sit amongst the thorns that you created on the way
[Chorus]
G Em
A way of living on the fire
D Bm A
Strung out on ambition and desire
G Em
How long, how long before we
D Bm A
Crash and burn?
G Em
The heights are soaring ever higher
D Bm A
The fall is growing ever dire
G Em
How long, how long before we
D Bm A
Crash and burn?
G Em D Bm A (x3)
G Em D
[Bridge]
G Em
A way of living on the fire
D Bm N.C.
Strung out on ambition and desire
G Em
How long, how long before we
D Bm A
Crash and burn?
[Chorus]
G Em
The heights are soaring ever higher
D Bm A
The fall is growing ever dire
G Em
How long, how long before we
D Bm A
Crash and burn?

He wrote another letter, and carved a silhouette
He knows somewhere she wanders but he hasn’t found it yet
This image is a marvel of purity and truth
An image blurring further every day away from youth
He carved another letter into his shaking arm
The memory will linger even should it do him harm
The message may be simple‚ complex in aftertaste
The 20/20 vision getting lost along the way
The spring turns into summer‚ the summer burns to ash
It buries underneath him ’til the winter comes to pass
It sprouts into the meadows of poltergeists and ghouls
Condemning us to living in the making of a fool
You toured the upper valley‚ you walked the city streets
To find yourself in everywhere above your swollen feet
One foot follows the other, it never gets away
You sit amongst the ghosts that you created on the way
A way of living under fire
Strung out on ambition and desire
How long, how long before we
Crash and burn?
The heights are soaring ever higher
The fall is growing ever dire
How long‚ how long before we
Crash and burn?
A way of living under fire
Strung out on ambition and desire
How long, how long before we
Crash and burn?
The heights are soaring ever higher
The fall is growing ever dire
How long, how long before we
Crash and burn?
Burn?
Burn?
Burn?
