Presidential Silver Lining Live

G  G   C7 G
N.C.
I just got up on stage and this is 
what I said.

[Verse 1]
       G           Em  C7
I said ev, ev, ev, ev,  everything,
              G     C  G C G
everything is fucked
    D
I'm sorry, that's no way to start a 
show
  D           N.C.
I apologized. I started again
         G                    
I said, most, most, most, most 
              C7
things are fucked
                               G
But please don't give up on me now
            C                    
'Cause I'm here to get you out of 
           Am
this dark hole
C            Em          Am
   That's my job after all
         C           Em        
Craigie    make them laugh, make 
       Am
them cry oh
C                               G
   That's what it says in your bio
             D                C
Oh make 'em cry, that will be easy 
tonight
                G
Way too easy tonight
              D
But make 'em laugh?
        C
Almost impossible

It's like a funeral out there


[Chorus]
              Am        C         
Don't let the darkness    break 
        G      C  G
you my friends
           Am        C            
There are so many of us and only 
        G  C  G
one of him

   G                     C
So I, I, I, I did my research
                                G
I tried to find some silver lining

But I didn't have much time and it 
ain't great

So I hope you can appreciate my 
findings
               Am
Here's what I found

It's historically proven

That when the presidents a 
republican

We have better music
Artists are better when they're 
 G
bummed

That's how it goes, that's how it's 
done
                C                  
When times are good, musicians they
     Bm
 get lazy

And the bad music slips out and it 
drives us all crazy

For example
   D                               
In 1995 a new band name Nickleback 
      G  C  G
came out
       D
And in 1995 the democrats were in 
the white house
         C
I'm just saying

Same goes for Linkin Park, Matchbox 
Twenty, MMMbop
G  C  G           C
         I'm just saying
C                        G       
Macarena, Justin Bieber, all the 
                D
results of the democrat leaders
G          D
I'm just sayin'
                    Am
The world may go to shit
C                           D
     But we'll have better music


[Chorus]
              Am        C         
Don't let the darkness    break 
        G      C  G
you my friends
           Am        C            
There are so many of us and only 
        G  C  G
one of him


[Verse 3]
        G                        
Now I'm not gonna get up here and 
tell you things gotta get worse 
                        C   C7
before they get better
                   C
Oh that's just not true

Things could just get better, stay 
better, continue to get better
Oh but that's not what things 
        G
usually do
         Am                        
Just ask Rosa Parks, Muhatma 
  G
Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Martin 
Luther King

Every now and then there's a bunch 
of bullshit
          D
You gotta fight it
            G
And when we fight it
          D
We always win
           G
Oh but the pessimist in us want to 
scream, "Craigie shut up
What about the battles that we 
Am
lose?"

I tell ya fool
Them just the battles that we 
            G   C  G  C
haven't won yet


[Chorus]
              Am        C         
Don't let the darkness    break 
        G      C  G
you my friends
           Am        C            
There are so many of us and only 
        G  C  G C
one of him
