Montauk

C C Am F G I don't want to go to sleep, I don't want to be awake. C Am F G C Don't want to go someplace that I cannot escape. Am F G I don't want to be sideways, I don't want to be straight. C F C I don't want to go right now, I do not want to wait. C F C So give me tomorrow and I'll miss yesterday, Am G C But I won't pretend like I know it all today. Am F G C Well I know what's right, and I know what ain't. Am F G It's hard to feel united in this here state. F C F G Go on / Go on, my babe. F C G Go on, honey. F C G Go on / Go on, my babe. F G C Go on all the way. C Am F G C I don't want to fight. I don't want to run away. Am F G C I don't want to turn my back or laugh in your face. Am F C I don't want to preach for preaching's sake, Am F G C but it seems we're sleeping in this bed we made. C Am F C So give me tomorrow and we can laugh at yesterday Am F G C but I won't pretend there ain't nothing wrong today. C F G C And I don't want to close my eyes on the progress that we've made C Am F G C but for every inch there's a mile of mistakes. F C F G Go on / Go on, my babe. F C G Go on, honey. F C G Go on / Go on, my babe. F G C Go on all the way. C Am F G C I don't want to be a painter anymore, not this way. Am F G C They like what I'm saying just "change the color of the paint." Am F G C Would you buy my work on the worth of the frame? Am F C It used to be I'd make everything I made. C Am F C So give me tomorrow and we can get passed yesterday Am F G C Is this one of them things, some passing phase, C F G C where we all get up in arms but our arms are slow to raise. C Am F G C People die, and buildings go up in flames. F C F G Go on / Go on, my babe. F C G Go on, honey. F C G Go on / Go on, my babe. F G C Go on all the way. C Am F G C I don't want to be a writer anymore, not this way. Am F G C I may as well have been an actor so you could tell me what to say. Am F G C Or maybe a marionette so you could move my arms and legs, Am F C I may as well drive out to Montauk on Memorial Day. C Am F C So give me tomorrow and we can get forget yesterday. Am F G C It's this modern focus that's so hard to maintain. C Am F G C A flash in the pan, short-term gain. C Am F G C No I don't want to be a writer anymore, not that way. F C F G Go on / Go on, my babe. F C G Go on, honey. F C G Go on / Go on, my babe. F G C Go on all the way.
