Conor Oberst - Common Knowledge Ukulele Chords
C/G C/B
He's my friend but he's no friend to me
C C/B
Ask him why, he'll tell you casually
F
Washed up, bitter, broken, busted
G
Backstabbed everyone he trusted
C F
Says he sees what no one else can see
G
And if I had half his guts I'd want it
F
To chase that fatalistic comet
C F
Die young in the dark; that's poetry
Dm G
But it was not to be, it was not for me
C - C/B - C/B [x2]
C/G C/B
He's always sad but I've never seen him cry
C/G C/B
When he comes to, sure he'll apologize
F
Find his car, assess the damage
G
Still drunk but he likes the challenge
C F
Hold on to his mind just like a kite
G
But a good strong win can keep you honest
F
Fill you with some common knowledge
C F
Things when we were young we never tried
Dm G
Just figured we had time with such a long life
C - C/B - C/B [x2]
C/G C/B
Money clips, alligator shoes
C/G C/B
One more dance, he's in that champagne room
F
She moves like a chocolate fountain
G
Pouring, spilling all around him
C F
Makes him wonder what else she can do
G
How bittersweet is love's illusion
F
Feelings that cannot be proven
C F
Trust me, you'll see, my aim is true
Dm G
I did this all for you, I've suffered long for you
C - C/B - C/B [x2]
C/G C/B
So many times he's tried to play it straight
C/G C/B
Worked and worked until his body ached
F
But a brand new life can lose its lustre
G
Troubles tend to find each other
C F
Call it luck or you can call it fate
G
But either way it's how it happens
F
Not the way that you imagined
C F
So just go out with a bang like Hemingway
Dm
Some will say you're brave
G C
Some will say you ain't
