Intro: D...
Verse 1:
Before this world starts up again,
It's me and night,
We wait for the sun,
The kids and drunks head back inside.
Verse 2:
Well there's lots of smart ideas
In books I've never read,
When the girls come talk to me
I wish to hell I had.
Bridge 1:
(Get up, get up)
Turn on ignition.
(Get up, get up)
Fire up the system,
Play my little part in something big.
Chorus:
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery,
And they'll say:
"All the salt in the world
Couldn't melt that ice".
I'm the one who gets away,
I'm a New Jersey success-story,
And they'll say:
"Lord, give me the chance
To shake that hand"
(They'll say...)
Verse 3:
Back when I was younger
I was someone you'd've liked,
Got an old guitar I had for years
I'd let you buy.
Verse 4:
And I'll tell you something else
That you ain't dying enough to know:
There's still some living left
When your prime comes and goes.
Bridge 2:
(Get up, get up)
Dance on the ceiling.
(Get up, get up)
Boy, you must be dreaming.
Rock on, young saviour, don't give up your hopes.
Chorus:
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery,
And they'll say:
"All the salt in the world
Couldn't melt that ice".
I'm the one who gets away,
I'm a New Jersey success-story,
And they'll say:
"Lord, give me the chance
To shake that hand".
Bridge 3:
I have one last wish,
And it's from my heart:
Just let me down,
Just let me down, easy...
Chorus:
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery,
And they'll say:
"All the salt in the world
Couldn't melt that ice".
I'm the one who gets away,
I'm a New Jersey success-story,
And they'll say:
"Lord, give me a chance
To shake his hand"
(They'll say...)
Outro: D A D/F# - G
