The Fountainhead
by The Bluetones
This is another great song of the "Expecting to Fly" album. If you like
it, email me and tell me about it with corrections/comments...
I hope the intro is accurate enough, but it sounds good! The whole song
is played with two guitars, but you can survive with just one! The
rythm is
a bit hard though, so you'll have to listen to the song to get it right.

Verse 1: (play with 1st intro riff)
God knows I've tried, to bridge the gap,
I've tried to be me,
And time after time I've lied, just to say the things,
You wanted to hear,
Em7 E Esus E Am Am7 Am (Am7 is x02213)
Look, look what I've done, look what I do,
I'm starting to pull myself through,
Hell could feasibly freeze, but in your eyes, I'll always be...
Chorus 1:
The Fountainhead, the boy whose thoughts keep running away
F# G A (play this A as x0222x)
And you know I'm riiight.
Verse 2: (same chord progression as verse 1)
Wasn't it you who said, I went looking, to open the eyes of my head
And now I can see, from your mistakes, you're as blind as me
God knows I try, God know I've tried, to be something more than I am
Hell could feasibly freeze, but in your eyes I'll always be...
Chorus 2:
Same as Chorus 1
Break: Plays basic riff, with lots of bass.
Verse 3: (The whole thing is played with the 1st intro riff)
What can I say without being profound,
It's a game that we play, goes round and round
I shall stick to the rules and I won't stop a fool
And I won't be defied and I won't lose my cool,
Can't you see what I've done can't you see what I do?
It's not really unique but it's hopelessly cruel,
These are my decisions these are my mistakes
G A (single strum)
And I'll fall down again if that what it takes...
