MGMT - Congratulations: chords

G   D/F#    Em Em7 C          G/B     Am
Dead in the water, it's not a paid vacation
G   D/F#     Em           Em7     C
The sons and daughters of city officials
  B/B        Am
attend demonstrations
G    D/F#     Em      Em7       C
It's hardly a sink or swim when all is well
        D
if the ticket sells

Out with a whimper, it's not a blaze of glory
You look down from your temple
as people endeavor to make it a story
And chisel a marble word,
but all is lost if it's never heard

Chorus:
C
But I've got someone to make reports
D
That tell me how my money's spent
C
To book my stays and draw my blinds
D
So I can't tell what's really there
D7                                    G
And all I need's a great big congratulations

I'll keep your dreams, you pay attention for me
As strange as it seems,
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast but
I tied my boots to a broken mast

The difference is clear,
you throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn,
Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple stock of
all the waste and salt to taste

Chorus:
But damn my luck and damn
these friends that keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
and lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
