INTRO C#m A E C#m A E C#m A E (A) (B) E (A) (B) VERSE 1

 E                F#
You, you think it's cool to be crazy

              A 
I say you're born rich - stay rich

                           E
There's no point in taking chances.

 E                    F#
And me, I wouldn't call it a sophomore slump, no, I'd say

 A                                      E
I'm one step closer to bein' just where I want to be

PRECHORUS 1

 F#
Away from this scene,

 A
Away from this machine, Alright!

CHORUS 1

 C#m    A      E
Meet me in the middle

     C#m      A         E,
Well c'mon let's make up a dance

     C#m     A      E      A    E (A) (B)
And we'll agree to call it the compromise

E(A) (B) VERSE 2

     E                F#
Step one: find a partner, grab a pen

              A 
And don't you dare ask questions,

                 E
Just sign on the dotted line

   E                F#
Step two: throw your partner behind a desk

               A 
Will then do absolutely nothing

                              E
So it's your job to dance and smile the whole time

PRECHORUS 2

F#
Don't call it a trend,

F#m
'cause it's the only way we think to get ahead

CHORUS 2

And we'll agree to call it the compromise

 C#m       A         E
There's no sense in complainin'

     C#m      A         E,
If it doesn't change your minds

Take me by the hand, let's compromise
