The Numbers Don't Lie

Instrumental mini chorus (head)
Chorus riff IV-V-iii-vi (D-E-C#m-F#m)

Verse 1
F#m - A - E
Get the escape act underway
Come bring my car around, I cannot stay
It isn’t cowardice to flee
When the advantage will come home with me

Chorus
Chorus riff IV-V-iii-vi (D-E-C#m-F#m)
It’s time to raise my bet
But the numbers don’t lie
I’ll stand, shake hands
Gotta roll gotta fly

Verse 2
F#m - A - E
I will politely take my leave
Such happy memories, my thanks receive
But truth be told I’d just as well
Just duck out silently, the Irish farewell

E-bow Solo
A transitory bit that’s basically A-E

Bridge
Post-transitory that doubles down on A
I am myself again
The minute I’m alone
I cannot keep a friend
To save my tailbone

Chorus
Chorus riff IV-V-iii-vi (D-E-C#m-F#m)
It’s time to raise my bet
But the numbers don’t lie
I’ll stand, shake hands
Gotta roll gotta fly

Coda
*Walkdown from D to A (x2)
Post-walkdown F C G A (x3)*
You cut your losses great or small
If you would keep your skin at all
No matter who will laugh or cry
The numbers don’t lie

Outro
Chorus riff IV-V-iii-vi (D-E-C#m-F#m)
