from Walter Becker's 2008 solo album Circus Money a tale of regret from a fella who's \"the first to call it quits and run for cover\" Chord charts below: Note in drop D (6th string tuned down a whole step:
Well you came on like some blazing super nova
000255 000222 000232 - 000230 002220 -002100
with a flame that burns so brightly in the sky
002120 - 002100
then you woke up and your long white night was over
002220 -002100-002230-002220
and you cursed the world that dared to pass you by
002120
(note the last chord of each verse line uses different A Maj chord voicings)
but you cheated and you lied life took you for a ride
000225 000224 000232-000220 000225 000224 002220 *
now you're standing on the upside looking down **
000232 000220 002200 020200 007600
Oh the hero in disguise believing his own alibis
057670 006650 004430 006600
You run so scared you're standing still
050200 040200 040100 040200
I know you are I know you will
000232 000220 020200 007600 - 007700
Be the first to call it quits and run for cover
007650 006450 004230 006450 007650 (repeat)
while your little world is crumbling all around (repeats)
but you punked out on yourself can't blame nobody else
*
now that you're standing on the upside looking down
