C#m E
There's a plastic toy four door in the cereal box and
A B
He's licking off the sugar of the breakfast of chumps
C#m A
Promise that forever we will never get better at
E B
Growing up and learning to lie
C#m E
There is no floor thirteen, there's not even a second story
A B
You got one to tell and it's sad as hell
C#m A
Promise that forever we will never get better at
E B
Growing up and learning to lie
C#m E
Grad school kid with wall street glib
A B
Got a suit and a tie and a record with winners
C#m A
Promise that forever we will never get better at
E B
Growing up and learning to lie
A
I'm on my way back home now
E B A
Good lives are gold, like the oldest story
E B A
Will mine be told, while I'm still young and horny?
E B A
I know my role is to be a confusion
E B A
Set the clock back when I'm growing old
[Repeat intro x1]
C#m E
This kid came over and I let him crash
A B
But he went into my wallet and he grabbed my cash
C#m A
Promise that forever we will never get better at
E B
Growing up and learning to lie
C#m E
And the good girlfriend, she turned me in
A B
I was lying with my eyes about adulterous sin
C#m A
Promise that forever we will never get better at
E B
Growing up and learning to lie
A
I'm on my way back home now
[repeat chorus]
C#m E B A
I never wanted to be like you or all the rest
C#m E B A
I've always been the first one to settle for second best
C#m E
I never wanted to be
B A
I never wanted to be
C#m B A
I never wanted to be like you
[repeat chorus]
E A
Promise that forever we will never get better at
C#m B
Growing up and learning to lie
[repeat this last part 3 times]
E
Promise it
[Also, if you want the bassline, it's entirely root notes of the chords.
C#m = 4th fret A-string (actually 2nd fret low B-string; it's recorded on a 5-string,
but most people don't have one.)
E = open E-string
A = open A-string
B = 2nd fret A-string]

| I'm still floored that these guys only sold 195k copies of this record, if they had just released this yesterday the radio would be all over this shit, I guess thats what you get for being ahead of your time. Amazing song...'Promise that forever we will never get better at growing up and learning to lie.' | |

| this is one of my favorite songs of all time. so underrated. i agreed with RestingPlace. but at the same time its nice cause at the same time i'm glad they're not all over MTV. but then again im sad they kinda died always, what this song says to me is an ironic statement about good lives. i think its about a bunch of people who at first glance would be said to have "good lives" but in reality they are miserable. 1 | |
