The question is wouldn't Mama be proud?

There's a silver lining in the corporate cloud

Em7            Em6              Em7/F#      C/G      G
And the pretty post that you're taking as a, as an NCO

A7sus4                 C
Of the great pretender, I should sure think so
[Chorus]

Ticket to the jet stream blowing coast to coast

Em7           Em6          Em7/F#    C/G                 G        G/F#
The long-stem glasses, a movie and a pleasant dream in mid-air

"You gotta tell me quickly 'cause we're almost there"
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
C                  B
Pointed out of the window

Em              A
At the sky gone black

C            B            D
"Kid, you're on the right track"
[Instrumental] Em7 Em6 C/G G G/F# Em A C/G G G/F# [Verse 3]
Em7       Em6   Em7/F#  C/G                 G        G/F#
If I send you postcards from the side of the road

Em7   Em6   Em7/F#   C/G               G        G/F#
Photographs of moving parts about to implode

Em7      Em6   Em7/F#     C/G
If I crawl to keep it together

        G
Like you say you know I can do

A7sus4                 C
To transmit the moment from me to you
[Chorus]
Em7      G              A     C
Wouldn't Mama be proud?

Em7      G              A     C
Wouldn't Mama be proud?

Em7      G              A     C
Wouldn't Mama be proud?

Em7      G              A     C
Wouldn't Mama be proud?
