FAWM: "Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride"

Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride

Lyrics

Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride (Dargan)

A E
Feeling all worn out inside
F#m D
Buy the ticket, take the ride
A E
Barely rolling with this tide
F#m D
Buy the ticket, take the ride

Bm F#m G D
It’s a little heavier than what you had in mind…
Bm F#m D G A
Just a little heavier than what you had in mind…

Ever seeking to divide
Buy the ticket, take the ride
Righteous anger justified
Buy the ticket, take the ride

(CHORUS)

F#m G
You might be way in over your head
D G D A
But you can’t turn back, no, you can’t turn back

(GTR SOLO over Verse)

We try to act so dignified
Buy the ticket, take the ride
Change your mind till you can’t decide
Buy the ticket, take the ride

(CHORUS)

Buy the ticket, take the ride
Buy the ticket, take the ride

Nice harmonies and a well written and played song. I can easily imagine this as a full rock song with drums and bass and a nice backing guitar. Good hook, “buy the ticket, take the ride”.

I love the whole vibe of this song. It reminds me a lot of Semisonic or an acoustic version of BoDeans. It flows really nicely and that hook "Buy the ticket, take the ride" is still echoing in my head. Nice one!
