Going Through The Motions

Going Through The Motions


From the album ”The Forgotten Arm” 2005


Capo 4


                Em         Am    Em       C
Something isn't right. I don't know how I know
    G             Em        Am       Em    C       
But baby, it's despite. Your dog-and-pony show
      Am               C  G
I can hear it coming
            Em                        C G
You're only going through the motions, baby
          Am               C G
With your engines humming
            Em                        C G
You're just going through the motions, baby
Em                        C G
Going through the motions, baby

                 Em        Am     Em   C
Feel like I'm in jail With you and Mr. Hyde
  G                Em      Am     Em    C
A guy who leaves a trail. About a mile wide
      Am              C G
So it starts already
                 Em                        C G
That you're just going through the motions, baby
        Am               C G
You can throw confetti
                 Em                        C G
But you're still going through the motions, baby
Em                        C G
Going through the motions, baby

               F     G        F                       Am
They'll have a big parade For every day that you stay clean
             F        G               F                C
But when the trumpets fade You'll go under like a submarine
              Am              C G  - Em      C G
And you won't see it coming
              Am              C G  - Em      C G Em      C G
No, you won't see it coming

                  Em      Am       Em    C
You could have it made Up there in San Rafael
    G          Em         Am     G       C
But baby, I'm afraid I'll never see you well
             Am              C G
Because I've seen the tally
                Em                        C G
And you're just going through the motions, baby
     Am            C G
To a big finale
                Em                        C G
That comes from going through the motions, baby
Em                        C G
Going through the motions, baby
Em                        F
Going through the motions, baby
                              C          G      
You're just going through the motions, baby
