Streetlight Manifesto – Watch It Crash (Ukulele)

Am           F                 C             C
Last night I woke alone with a whisper in my ear (whisper in my ear)

Am        F          C              C
Recanting all my aspirations and my fears

Am           F                C              C
And when the sun came up that voice had disappeared

Am           F             E
But it would linger on for years

            F          E               Am
It said "We can't just blame it on our mothers

           F          E              Am
Claim everything they did was always wrong"

          F                 E             Am               F
And there ain't not turning back when our train is off its track

            F              E               Am
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash (watch it crash)

          F                 E             Am               F
And there ain't no right or wrong when we know it won't be long

            F              E               Am
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash

   Am     F      C     C
So mercy, mercy, mercy me

Am              F          C              C
Praying for the death of a man I'll never meet

       Am            F                      C               C
Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe

Am    F     E
Mercy mercy me

    F          E               Am
"We can't just blame it on our mothers

           F          E              Am
Claim everything they did was always wrong"

          F                 E             Am               F
And there ain't not turning back when our train is off its track

            F              E               Am
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash (watch it crash)

          F                 E             Am               F
And there ain't no right or wrong when we know it won't be long

            F              E               C
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash

   Am     F      C     C
So mercy, mercy, mercy me

Am              F          C              C
Praying for the death of a man I'll never meet

       Am            F                      C               C
Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe

Am    F     C
Mercy mercy me

Am              F       C                 C    
That's all they came for, that's all they took

Am            F             C          C
That's all we had to offer, only dirty looks

Am            F             C            C
And when they realized we'd given all we could, 

Am               F            E
that's when they finally understood

Am    F     C     C
Mercy mercy mercy me

Am             F           C                  C
Haunted by the memories of things we'll never see

Am             F                     C            C
Guilty for the statements that we'll never get to speak

Am    F     C
Mercy mercy me

F              E               Am
We can't quite blame it on our mothers

           F          E              Am
Claim everything they did was always wrong"

          F                 E             Am               F
And there ain't not turning back when our train is off its track

            F              E               Am
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash

          F                 E             Am               F
And there ain't no right or wrong when we know it won't be long

            F              E               Am
And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash

         F                 C              E                Am
Watch it crash and there's nothing we can do, but watch it crash...
