They Might Be Giants – This Is Only Going To Go One Way (Guitar)

G              G7
It's impossible to forget the

C                    Am          D       G G7 Am D
time when there were six ways to Sunday

G               G7
All the same forget it you must 'cause

C             Am      D       G Bm E
this is only going to go one way

  Am                Em
A peg-leg captain's ghost

     C                   G
once said these words to me

     Cdim               G
when forced to choose between the devil

Cm6               D
and the deep blue sea

G               G7
Flip a piece of eight in the air 'cause

C              Am        D       G  Am D
this is only going to go one way

G                   G7
She's lost count of all the occasions

C                Am           D       G G7 Am D
she's considered punching his face in

G                    G7
Deep down they know, come judgment day, they'll

C             Am           D          G Bm E
hang together side-by-side come what may

   Am               Em
He knows he's often dreamt

   C              G
of shortening her life

      Cdim             G
She's felt her hand discreetly moving

Cm6             D
for the kitchen knife

G                  G7
Get a room, you're meant for each other

C              Am        D
This is only going to go one way

   Am           Em
An old magician said

      C                G
While swallowing strychnine

    Cdim            G
Too bad my greatest trick can only

Cm6              D
be performed one time

G            G7
As we hurtle down the expressway

C             Am           D
Buckle up, prepare for the new day

B    Em     G            A7
Open up the doors to the bomb bay

C   Am     C    D
  Invoke Geronimo

G                    G7
Brace yourself, your destiny's written

C            Am          D
This is only going to go one way
