The Best Man At Your First Loves Wedding

C
Making plans is like making the bed,
    G                      Am
You know they're gonna get messed up
 yet.
    C
And all your dreams and all your 
hopes,
            G                      
They'll get spent like money, blown
  Am
 away like smoke.
    C                              
But if I truly felt like this was 
 G              Am
so I'd have quit years ago.

               F                
So if I've got bad luck at least 
        G                          
it's my luck and I can take it with
              C
 me when I go.


[Verse 2]
     C
Well life is maths and life is debt
    G                   Am
And I'm still living in deficit.
    C
And I want to graph out of the red
    G                    Am
And get my head into the clouds 
again.
    C                          
But life lived without money is 
           G              Am
better than a life lived with 
regret.

                F                
So if that's my good luck I guess 
           G
it's my luck.


[Chorus]
       F              C
'Cause All those mysteries of youth
         G                      
They get solved by the years now 
        C
you're living proof
       F               C
Of good seeds grown to fallow fields
               G                 
And now you're starving down here 
           C
with your ribs revealed.
    F                  C
And all your old loves became wives
      G                       
Of an unimpassioned population 
 C
hugging the white line.
    F                           
You could have gone east and you 
 C
could have gone west

        G                          
But you stuck to the middle so they
 F
 made you the best man.

                      C
They made you the best man.


[Verse 3]
   C                               
So if you lose it once you can find
        G
 it twice
                  Am
Just hold on tight this time.
    C
But if you burn like me inside
     G                Am
I know you'll never be satisfied.
     C
Just don't spead yourself too thin 
kid
        G                    
Or there'll be little left of 
 Am
anything.

                     F          
And that would be bad luck, yeah 
                  G
that would be bad luck


[Chorus]
       F              C
'Cause All those mysteries of youth
         G

        C

       F               C

                                  C
Yeah, they made you the best man.

[Chorus]
         F                     
Oh and a life without fire is a 
 C
firing squad,
        G                          
I'm not going to heaven because 
    C
I've never known God.
      F                  C
But I do believe there's something 
more
      G                            
And I do have a clue what I've been 
C
looking for.
        F              C
Yeah one day I want to find the 
breach
            G                      
Between the things that I want and 
          C
the things that I need
    F                C
And when I get there will I know?
        G                F
Well I'm thinking that I don't think
 so.

I just don't want to be the best 
     C
man.


[Verse 4]
C
Just when you think you've got 
nothing left
   G                Am
To write about well here she comes.
    C                              
And just when you think you 
               G
might've snared a good one
            Am
You're back on the run.
    C
But I'll keep breaking choices down
  G             Am
Untill I'm only left with one.
