Intro: A F#m Verse 1:
A
You'll never have to hear the word "no"
If you keep all your friends on the payroll
F#m
The non-disclosure pages signed
Your secret's safe between those lines
A
The scaffolding will cheer and console you
But remember what your mother told you
F#m
That good help is so hard to find
For people that are so refined
Bm
You're trying to turn into the skid

                         D   E
In this never-ending grid
Chorus:
          F#m   E    D    A
There's a long, slow fade

     F#m E    D    A
To a darkened stage

      F#m  E   D    A
And I hear you say

        F#m        E   D   A
"Only a fool gives it away"

       Bm
Only a fool would give

       D         
Only a fool gives it away
A Verse 2:
A
You said you wanna stake out your claim
High above the city from where you came
F#m
Don't you know the air's so thin?
It starves the brain of oxygen
A
I know it's such a dangerous place
For there are more ascensions than there is space
F#m
Angels causing accidents
The camera phones'll document
Bm
But if I start to levitate
Pull me down with all your weight D E Chorus:
          F#m   E    D    A
There's a long, slow fade

     F#m E    D    A
To a darkened stage

And I hear you say

You're trying to turn into the skid

But you should know it's not ideal
All those hands upon the wheel D E Chorus:
