Action & Action Lyrics

The Get Up Kids
Something To Write Home about
1999 Vagrant Records
Key: E
Chords used:
Intro: C#m-B-A-E-G#m---A (x3)
Organ: Will enter simultaneously with drums at 2nd time
Verse 1:
You really think that you??re bigger than this
To the tune of ten thousand lisps
Who would have thought we??d represent
When I can??t take a compliment?
Overexposure is the key
And any focus on me
Is appreciated
As it should be
Refrain 1:
No wonder now
I finally found
The right formula look for
Chorus 1:
You taught me how
I play the fool
Every mistake that I make
I couldn??t have made without you
What??s said is done
And plain to see
You take it all too seriously
(Repeat Intro but only twice)
Verse 2:
What better way to make an honest mistake
Than a televised hand of fate
When the world??s closing in on you
A decision would be overdue
Now nothing left is out of hand
A stronger jaded man stands
If the world is ending
Then we toast to it
Refrain 2:
I??m stronger now
But not without
The right formula look for
Chorus 2:
You taught me how
I play the fool
Every mistake that I make
I couldn??t have made without you
What??s said is done
And plain to see
Here??s all you get from me
Here??s all you get from me
Organ: C#m(hold)-A(hold)-E(hold)-G#m(hold)
Bridge:
I??m down for whatever
What??s there left to wait for?
I??m down for whatever
What??s there left to wait for?
wait for I wait
(Repeat Chorus 2)
End on C#m
