[Verse]
D5                                  G       
A little softer than I used to be, (right..)
Used to mouth off often with artillery
     D5                                               
Now, it is cough drops and soft spots in a middle seat
G             
Right this way
N.C.
Chivalry
D5                                    G     
A tighter space than I used to know, (right)
Spread out wide, no more
Pinch my shoulders close
A                                  
Hoping they misplace my reservation
G                         
Right this way. Okay, okay

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb                                                  
"I thought you had it figured it out" I know, I know
"You said you made it to the top" I lied, I lied
Dm                                 C     
So tell us, how did you make out alright?

[Chorus]
    Dm                    Bb  
Well, I pull on my shirtsleeve
                     F   
to cover half of my hands
                           Gm  
bring my arms closer to my body
Get as small as I can
Dm                        
They call it "center mass"
Bb                    
That part they aim for
F                        
Shrink it down to nothing
        Gm                        
And forgetting what the pain's for
Dm                   Bb 
I pull on my shirtsleeve
                     F  
To cover half of my face
                           Gm  
Bring my arms closer to my body
                     F  
Get as small as they say
They call it "center mass"
That part they aim for for, for, for ...
(That´s blasphemy)

[Verse]
Am                                 
Right this way if you're frustrated
D                                 
Your first mate in the fifth grade
              Am                                       
Tried to persuade, try it once, he was shown on the bus
G                                
Right this way, Chains up my huff
Am                             D   
Anxious enough as it is, gotta walk
                                         Am  
Never looking up once at the kids in the park
What a day. Getting dark. What a day!
G                         
Right this way. Okay, okay
