Fed And Watered

Tom: E
Intro: A  Bm7  F#m  E  D

VERSE:
E7                        A
  there was a wait in the water a weight in the air
E7                  A
  if I'd waited any longer an additional fare
F#m                      A
  and they can keep you a-round like a head on a stake
Bm7                    E
  I guess the industry found a use for my namesake
E7                     A  
  I built my calluses up from foolin' on the guitar
E7                        A
  I keep them hard in the midst of what seems soft and bizarre
F#m            A
  and ephemeral notions like a song are a curse
Bm7             E
  offering a re-turn but making me feel worse

CHORUS-SHORT:
D9                          C#m/D
if you want to quit you should quit like a winner cut your
Amaj9                     A
losses and extricate your-self from the bidding
Bm7                             F#m
  and tell your friends that you coulda if you'd wanted to
E                            Bm7
  and tell yourself that it's strong to make a hard call
Bm7                      F#m
  and when the others are all fed and watered you're
E                        Bm7  E
still bet'n' cheering her on     by then I bet you'll be

RE-Intro: 
A   Bm7  F#m  E  D
gone

VERSE:
E7                A
  so I sit in the meantime and sharpen my teeth
E7                   A
  and encode all the bitterness I choose to bequeath
F#m                A
  but if one equals C then yeah A equals three
Bm7                       E
  but the encryption just adds to the mendacity
E7                      A
  now I'm on top of the water still suppressed by the air
E7                    A
  I earn my wage on a track that's almost totally bare
F#m                  A
  of the things I ex-pected when I first got the itch
Bm7                     E
  I'd turn it off if on-ly there existed a switch

CHORUS:
D9                          C#m/D
if you want to quit you should quit like a winner cut your
Amaj9                     A
losses and extricate your-self from the bidding
Bm7                              F#m
  and tell your friends that you coulda if you'd wanted to
E                             Bm7
  and tell yourself that it's strong to make a hard call and
D9                      _C#m/D
if you wanna try you should try like a loser who
Amaj9                  A
keeps on betting their life on a slow horse
Bm7                       F#m
  and every year well she gets a little more tired you're
E                         Bm7  E 
still bet'n' cheering her on     by then I bet you'll be
