IT'S A HIT - Rilo Kiley
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
(x4) (x4) (X2)
Any chimp can play human for a day.
Use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform
and run for office on election day
fancy himself a real decision maker
(with guitar lick x2)
and deploy more troops than salt shakers.
But it's a jungle when war is made,
and you'll panic and throw your own shit at the enemy.
The camera pulls back to reveal your true identity.
Look, it's a sheep in wolf's clothing.
A smoking gun holding ape.
Guitar Lick X2
Any asshole can open up a museum.
Put all of the things he loves on display
so everyone could see them.
The house, a car, a thoughtful wife
ordinary moments in his ordinary life.
Guitar Lick X 1
But if she breaks a smile, she'll give you away
'cause no one wants to pay to see your happiness.
No one wants to pay to see your day to day
and I'm not buying it either
but I'll try selling it anyway.
Guitar Lick X 4
Trumpet Lick X 4
Any idiot can play Greek for a day
and join a sorority or write a tragedy
and articulating all that pain
and maybe you'll get paid.
Guitar Lick X1
But it's a sin when success complains,
and your writers block- it don't mean shit.
Just throw it against the wall and see what sticks.
Gotta write a hit.
I think this is it.
It's a hit.
Guitar Lick X 2
Trumpet Lick X 2
You get the idea. It isn't hard.
