Wilted Daisies Chords & Lyrics by Joshua James
Wilted Daisies
guitar chords lyrics
Capo 5
C F - C
Pretty, pretty wilted daisies all in a row
C G C
on the top of Mount Vernon in the dirty snow
C F C
where the shadow sings of sunshine like a dying crow
C G C
pretty, pretty wilted dasies all in a row
C F - C
You're waving high into the night time of a New York street
C G C
Your newly painted yellow taxi has dirty seats
C F C
You're racing quick into the nightclub, so that you can see
C G C
The same old sick and sadly strangers always seem to meet
F G Am
Cuz it's a long way to and a short ride from the top
F G Am
it's a rotten middle finger and the cancer will not stop
F G Am
it's a long way to and a short ride from the top
F G
your hand begins to slip or they cut
C F - C
either way you drop
C F - C
Your small apartment is a mess but you don't seem to care
C G C
the dirty dishes in the corner go with the broken chair
C F C
Higher grows the stack of bills that calmly declare
C G C
if you don't pay within a week then your shit is theirs
C F - C
You go to work Monday through Sunday, open to close
C G C
the seven dollars that they pay, son, is good as a broken nose
C F C
when no one's watchin' you pull your pants down and touch your toes
C G C
your undercut n' your exploited but that's how the country grows
F G Am
Cuz it's a long way to and a short ride to the top
F G Am
it's a rotten middle finger and the cancer will not stop
F G Am
it's a long way to and a short ride from the top
F G
your hand begins to slip or cut
Am
either way you take what they have stolen
F
or you try to break what can't be broken
C
you can speak what you believe
G
but every thought comes preconceived
Am
you try to wash your hands of this
F
clear your conscience and dismiss
C
pretend our problems don't exist
G
we're takin' aspirin for a broken wrist
F G Am
cuz it's a long, long way to the top
F G Am
it's a rotten middle finger but the cancer will not stop
F G Am
it's a long, long way to the top
F G
your hand begins to slip or cut
Am F C G
either way we
outro Am F C G
I look forward to the feedback!
