John Mark McMillan - Gods of american success

^EmWhite faced phantoms in a ^Gfoggy rain ^EmMinnows in the pool, the way they ^Gslip away ^AAnd I go fumbling, go running in and repossess ^GThe story of my youth ^GThe story of my electric ^Epast

^AAre we running after ^Emflickering ^Gsparks, oh? ^GAre we grappling for diamonds in the ^Adark, oh? ^GThe way we chase that mercury The ^Emway we chase that ^Gmercury

^EmLoud like lions and as ^Gslick as wolves ^EmDesperately we haunt the other ^Ganimal ^ABut in the end, if all we are is ^Gdogs out back, chasing cars Then ^Empray that we don't get the things we ^Gwant

^AAre we running after ^Emflickering ^Gsparks, oh? ^GAre we grappling for diamonds in the ^Adark, oh? ^GThe way we chase that mercury The ^Emway we chase that ^Gmercury

^DLove, a pound of ^Gflesh ^GOffer it up to the ^Agods of American ^Gsuccess ^GDoesn't matter what you ^Emare, you're only second ^Ebest ^EAnd that's a^Emll that you can ever hope to ^Abe The ^Emway you chase that ^Gmercury, oh

^EmFragile frames fumble in the ^Gmystery ^EmAfraid to be exposed while we p^Gretend to be ^ASomething more than ^Gwhat we are ^AFools in love with ^Gpunch drunk hearts ^EmMystified by everything we ^Gsee

^AAre we running after ^Emflickering ^Gsparks, oh? ^GAre we grappling for diamonds in the ^Adark, oh? ^GThe way we chase that mercury The ^Emway we chase that ^Gmercury ^GThe way we chase that mercury The ^Emway we chase that ^Gmercury

^DLove, a pound of ^Gflesh ^GOffer it up to the ^Agods of American ^Gsuccess ^GDoesn't matter what you ^Emare, you're only second ^Ebest ^EAnd that's a^Emll that you can ever hope to ^Abe ^GThe way we chase that mercury

^GThere must be ^Emmore to this ^GOur desperate ^Emwandering ^GHow do we ^Emput to rest ^GAll of our ^Ddisc^Emonte^Gnt ^GBeneath the ^Emshadows of ^GAll that we ^Emthink we want ^GIs there a ^Alight we can't ^Dsee? ^GThere must be ^Emmore to this ^GOur desperate ^Emwandering ^GHow do we ^Emput to rest ^GAll of our ^Ddisc^Emonte^Gnt ^GBeneath the ^Emshadows of ^GAll that we ^Emthink we want ^GIs there a ^Alight we can't ^Dsee? The ^Emway you chase that ^Gmercury
