verse 1 
C 
Making plans is like making the bed, 
    G                      Am 
You know they're gonna get messed up yet. 
    C 
And all your dreams and all your hopes, 
            G                        Am 
They'll get spent like money, blown away like smoke. 
    C                               G              Am 
But if I truly felt like this was so I'd have quit years ago. 
               F                        G                                        C 
So if I've got bad luck at least it's my luck and I can take it with me when I go. 


verse 2 
     C 
Well life is maths and life is debt 
    G                   Am 
And I'm still living in deficit. 
    C 
And I want to graph out of the red 
    G                    Am 
And get my head into the clouds again. 
    C                                     G              Am 
But life lived without money is better than a life lived with regret. 
                F                           G 
So if that's my good luck I guess it's my luck. 


       F              C 
'Cause All those mysteries of youth 
         G                              C 
They get solved by the years now you're living proof 
       F               C 
Of good seeds grown to fallow fields 
               G                            C 
And now you're starving down here with your ribs revealed. 
    F                  C 
And all your old loves became wives 
      G                        C 
Of an unimpassioned population hugging the white line. 
    F                            C 
You could have gone east and you could have gone west 
        G                           F 
But you stuck to the middle so they made you the best man. 
                      C 
They made you the best man. 


verse 3 
   C                                       G 
So if you lose it once you can find it twice 
                  Am 
Just hold on tight this time. 
    C 
But if you burn like me inside 
     G                Am 
I know you'll never be satisfied. 
     C 
Just don't spead yourself too thin kid 
        G                     Am 
Or there'll be little left of anything. 

                     F                            G 
And that would be bad luck, yeah that would be bad luck 

       F              C 
'Cause All those mysteries of youth 
         G                              C 
They get solved by the years now you're living proof 
       F               C 
Of good seeds grown to fallow fields 
               G                            C 
And now you're starving down here with your ribs revealed. 
    F                  C 
And all your old loves became wives 
      G                        C 
Of an unimpassioned population hugging the white line 
    F                            C 
You could have gone east and you could have gone west 
        G                           F 
But you stuck to the middle so they made you the best man. 
                                  C 
Yeah, they made you the best man.

Oh and a life without fire is a firing squad, 
        G                              C 
I'm not going to heaven because I've never known God. 
      F                  C 
But I do believe there's something more 
      G                            C 
And I do have a clue what I've been looking for. 
        F              C 
Yeah one day I want to find the breach 
            G                                C 
Between the things that I want and the things that I need

And when I get there will I know?

Well I'm thinking that I don't think so. 
                                      C 
I just don't want to be the best man. 


verse 4 
C 
Just when you think you've got nothing left 
   G                Am 
To write about well here she comes. 
    C                                             G 
And just when you think you might've snared a good one 
            Am 
You're back on the run. 
    C 
But I'll keep breaking choices down 
  G             Am 
Untill I'm only left with one.
