The Growlers - Chinese Fountain

INTRO
Cm \ 2x
Eb /

VERSE 1
Cm
Keep tossing quarters in a Chinese fountain
  Eb
A whole bunch of wishes unanswered, but who’s counting
Cm
1, 2, 3, 9 chicks left me brokenhearted
        Eb
I was a pretty boy, till love left me scarred
        Cm
There’s something going around, can’t put my finger in
     Eb
Like bigger fish are going to shoot out of the earth like diamonds

CHORUS
F                     Cm
 We are the miners of another generation
Ab                         Eb
 Hills scraped dry with no choice but be creative
F                  Cm
 Everybody sick and tired of waiting
Ab               Eb
Couldn’t get any harder to be patient

VERSE 2
   Cm
Is techno so shitty, even disco seems punk
         Eb
Like the water so filthy, it’s no wonder why we’re drunk
Cm
Every little kid wants a computer in his pocket
    Eb
The trophies on the mantels of the digital profits
    Cm
The internet is bigger than Jesus and John Lennon
      Eb
And nobody wants to know where we’re heading

CHORUS
F                     Cm
 We are the miners of another generation
Ab                         Eb
 Hills scraped dry with no choice but be creative
F                   Cm
Everybody sick and tired of waiting
Ab               Eb
Couldn’t get any harder to be patient
