The Strypes - Great Expectations

      [Verse 1]
E                      A            G#m   F#m
Johnny's still got all his confirmation money
                           A
That you won't let him spend
         E                  A              G#m
Works on the buildings till 6 AM in the summer
    F#m                    A
And you give him twenty percent
   E                            A          G#m
Johnny's got a lot on conflicting ideas in his head
    F#m          A
And he's oh so afraid
 E                              A       G#m
He got himself a power rack and a new haircut
         F#m                    A
Well he's just tryna make the grade

[Pre-chorus]
 A               G#m              F#m
But those old routines don't go too far
     A             G#m               B
'Cause those old routines ain't what we are

[Chorus]
E  A     G#m
Oh Rosie, oh Rosie
   F#m            A
He won't let you down
E  A     G#m
Oh Rosie, oh Rosie yeah
   F#m            A
He won't let you down

[Verse 2]
E                A               G#m      F#m
Can't leave this town for fear of independence
                                  A
Yeah boy, polish that ball and chain
                     E
And why ever leave this sacred place of worship
A                                   G#m
When everywhere else probably looks the same
     F#m                                  A
Just get yourself a girl that you don't really love
    F#m                    A
And stay together for the kids
E                              A        G#m
Or you could stand up straight and walk outside
   F#m        A
Go ahead and live

[Pre-chorus]
 A               G#m              F#m
But those old routines don't go too far
     A             G#m               B
'Cause those old routines ain't what we are

[Chorus]
E  A     G#m
Oh Rosie, oh Rosie
   F#m            A
He won't let you down
E  A     G#m
Oh Rosie, oh Rosie yeah
   F#m            A       E
He won't let you down

[Bridge]
A      G#m   F#m A
And all I see
E            A   G#m      F#m
Is this great expectation
                     A
Hanging over you and me
E                  A       G#m      F#m
And now you're lying on the floor, man
                         A
Head in hands, feeling low
      E                   G#m      A
Well you'd just love to get it straight
          G#m     F#m
You pray for 1958
F#m     G#m     A   B
Well go Johnny, go, go

[Chorus]
E  A     G#m
Oh Rosie, oh Rosie
   F#m            A
He won't let you down
E  A     G#m
Oh Rosie, oh Rosie yeah
   F#m            A
He won't let you down
E  A     G#m
Oh Rosie, oh Rosie
   F#m            A
He won't let you down
E  A     G#m
Oh Rosie, oh Rosie yeah
   F#m            A
He won't let you down
