Ben Folds Five – Philosophy (Guitar)

          C              F
Won't you look up at the skyline

       C                  Em
At the mortar, block, and glass

    F             D/F#              G
And check out the reflections in my eyes

         C                 F
See they always used to be there

     C                     Em
Even when this was all was grass

      F          D/F#              G
And I sang and danced about a high-rise

             F              G
And you were laughing at my helmet hat

F              Dm7     G 
Laughing at my torch

C            Cmaj7         C6
Go ahead and laugh all you want

  C+         Dm7    G   Dm7   G   
I got my philosophy

              C            Cmaj7 C6
And I trust it like the ground

 C+                Dm7   G  
That's why my philosophy

         Dm7                      G       C/G      G7   
Keeps me walking when I'm falling down

   C                F
I see that there is evil

      C                  Em
And I know that there is good

          F         D/F#          G  
And the in-betweens I never understood

          C               F
Would you look at me I'm crazy

      C           Em
But I get the job done

   F            D/F#        G
I'm crazy but I get the job done

C            Cmaj7         C6
Go ahead and laugh all you want

  C+         Dm7    G   Dm7   G   
I got my philosophy

              C         Cmaj7   C6
And I trust it like the ground

 C+                Dm7   G   
That's why my philosophy

         Dm7                      G       C/G      G7   
Keeps me walking when I'm falling down

Am                   Eaug/G#
I pushed you cause I loved you guys

Am7/G      Am6/E
I didn't realize

                 Gm          C   Bb  C  Bb   C  Bb  
That you weren't having fun

      F                 
And I dragged you up the stairs

      G
And I told you to fly

         F
You were flapping your arms

         G                        Am
Then you started to cry, you were too high

    Bb
Too highhhhhh

        C                  F
Now you take this all for granted

             C                  Em
You take the mortar, block, and glass

         F                D/F#           G
And you forget the speech that moved the stone

         C               F    
And it's really not that you can't see

    C               Em
The forest from the trees

 F                      D/F#          G
You just never been out in the woods alone

C          Cmaj7         C+
So you can laugh all you want to

    C+              Dm7      G    Dm7   G  
But I've got my philosophy

               C          Cmaj7   C+
And I love you you're my friend

                 Dm7       G     
But you got no philosophy

        Dm7                    G     C/G   G7    
Now it's time for this song to end
