Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
[Verse 1]
G
I didn't plan which roads to follow
Bm
I just chose which turns to make
C G Am D
My route's about as well thought-out as jumping out a window
G Bm
And expecting to go sideways, coz even on my best days
C G Am D
When rock beats paper it still falls and crashes on the pavement
[Verse 2]
G Bm
They say gravity's as selfish as an overbearing lover
C G Am D
He won't let go even though he knows he no longer loves her
G Bm
So join me on this quest to find our own obscurity
C G Am D
When we do we'll know the truth that all of this is pointless
[Chorus]
G Bm C G
La la la la la la la la la
Am D G
The only thing we can decide is to go on
Bm C G
La la la la la la la la
Am D G
The only choice that we have left is to go on
[Verse 3]
G
We follow paths of least resistance
Bm
Or the hardest paths completed (?)
C G Am D
Long before we're even born or willed into existence
G
By our parents' bad decisions
Bm
A patchwork of old choices
C G Am D
Monuments to good intentions on their roads to failure
[Verse 4]
G
But life's about the journey
Bm
Not where, but how we got there
C G Am D
Therefore you should always choose the roads that lead to nowhere
G Bm
Destinations I have found to be the graveyards of adventure
C G Am D
Contentedness and cause of death of all my aspirations
[Chorus]
G Bm C G
La la la la la la la la la
Am D G
The only thing we can decide is to go on
Bm C G
La la la la la la la la
Am D G
The only choice that we have left is to go on
[Verse 5]
G
We tell ourselves that we seek love
Bm
We tell ourselves we seek success
C G Am D
When all we've ever wanted is for people that we meet
G Bm
To think our lives are far more interesting than theirs could ever be
C G Am D
Even though we know not where we go, we go there boldly
[Verse 6]
G Bm
And the maps we're told to read don't lead to where they say they do
C G Am D
We'd rather wander aimlessly and see where it leads to
G Bm
It's just us against the universe, God and destiny
C G Am D G
When all we've ever wanted was a chance to fuck our own lives up ourselves
[Chorus]
G Bm C G
La la la la la la la la la
Am D G
The only thing we can decide is to go on
Bm C G
La la la la la la la la
Am D G
The only choice that we have left is to go on
Am D G
The only thing we can decide is to go on
Bm C G
La la la la la la la la
C G Am D G
When all we've ever wanted was a chance to fuck our own lives up ourselves
